Quite welcome. Would do it all over again in a heart beat! My satisfaction comes from the positive influence I had on many of the young men that worked with me. This was affirmed when the crew I had on board USS Wisconsin BB-64 had a reunion in Norfolk and invited me to join them. We told lies, dranks some beers and spent four hours touring the ship and visiting several of the spaces we worked in. The whole experience made me feel really good about the work I did.
Unlike Bill, I wouldn't want to do all of it over again. Some of it maybe. I'd have been a lot happier if they had made me an Aviation Mechanic or something other than an Aviation Ordnanceman that I could use after four plus years in the military. I sure wouldn't mind being able to go flying around a bit in these babies again as I did as a full time flight crew member.
