almost to the most northern part of Iceland...if I was in an airplane I would have earned the silly navy award of Blue Nose...we were recovering an old Soviet Union Sonobuoy that washed up...
I earned my shellback, Order of the Golden Dragon, as well :)
Crossing the equator is much more fun the second time
About 2 minutes in, I'm the guy giving egg shampoos to the wogs coming off the aircraft elevator. At 2:36 is our captain "Bear" Taylor in the blue overalls going through the ceremony....he was the best captain I ever had after 3 ships and almost 14 years being on ships..
My first captain on the Wasp was a great guy...in order to watch the Superbowl via satalite our ship actually went backwards slowly for the game...we were beebopping along South America at the time...
On the Coral Sea I had three great captains and one very mediocre captain...the worst was a religious reborn ass who irritated everyone with his pompous, judging, attitude....his visit to the Iowa was indirectly responsible for the disaster.
In 93 I was at Jacksonville, Fla. During Shield and Storm I was on the LaSalle...The Quartermasters were in charge of me (photolab), the journalist and the Lithographer. Nothing more career limiting than people outside of your rate doing your evals...
