Not necessarily sub related but, 60 years ago this month in boot camp we trained on the USS Recruit (TDE - ). Thought some of you might want to see her again.

I never stepped aboard. Don't know why but perhaps it's when the company did but I was a week in sick bay with the measles. This would have been March 1963. Didn't do service week either. I was the company MAA so I was the one the company commander told to make up the watch list for service week. Needless to say, I opted out. The company commander knew I was a Sea Scout up to the age of 16 so he knew I didn't need the USS Recruit experience.

62 years ago this date I was at RTC GLAKES enjoying the balmy winds off Lake Michigan. Caught strep, nobody cared.

60 years this summer. I didn't know the old USS Neversail was still "sailing". I still remember the main task I had was polishing the brightwork. Also learned that you go up the ladder on the starboard side and down on the port side. Or was it the other way around?

Yer right Stan...Up starboard down port. And I too had a case of strep. A horrible way to start boot camp. UGH!
