Last year of Nam war. Great times. Great
experience. The Hart put out the Belnap fire we were the first on site. But because of politics we are not mentioned in reports.
We pissed of the

I left the ship in Valencia Spain the end of February of 78. Does anybody know how I can get a copy of the 77'-78' Med Cruise
Book? P.S. Though the road has been rough and long since loosing my sea legs, I am still walking with my LORD, and waiting
HIS imminent appearing. Still appealing to all to be ready for your imminent expiration date.

Good time on the first Med Cruise in 1975. Part of commisioning crew. Got in all kinds of trouble being 17 at the time. One
hell of a ride aboard one hell of a ship! Someone contact me so i know it really happened. You early rebels know who you are. |

Hello, I am a PHD student working on the Lone Sailor Memorial planned for Baldwin Park at the site of the former NTC/RTC Orlando.
We are looking for pictures of the Base that can be included in the history without violating the copy write law. I saw the
photos on your web page and would like to know if you know who took the first one of the base in 1972 and how I could obtain
permission for it. Do you have any photos I could get permission to use for our project? Thank you for your time. Carolyn

This was my longest tour of duty while I was in the Navy. I came aboard when Radio was without a Chief, in '84. RM1 Marc Gagnon
was LPO and Ens Sleem was DIVO. After the ship came out of the yards, we went to GITMO. Capt MacMichael was CO and relieved
RM1 Gagnon after we failed our first REFTRA exam in Radio. I was put in charge. "SKIP" told me that he did not want him to
come down and run Radio, if I could not handle the job. I told him we would pass and not have any problems again. Unfortunately,
we ended up having a CMS violation, so COMSEC sent a team with, then, RM1 Jimmy Lambert doing the Radio side of the inspection.
All was good there at the time. Later, RMC Jimmy Lambert showed up to take over Radio as LCPO. We bumped heads a couple of
times, but in the end he helped me become a Chief. Before he got there, the Chief's Mess didn't think too much of me, but
by the time I left and with RMC's help, they appreciated the work and recognition Radio finally got. Capt Nick took over from
"SKIP" shortly after GITMO. After a couple of years, and one MED cruise, in '86, Capt Stevens took over from Capt Nick. We
went on a another MED cruise, in '88, and had a great cruise. We did a TYCOMMEX for Radio and SIGS with CIC included and scored
the highest score ever in DESRON 10. We got the first Green "C" for Radio in quite some time. Thanks to Jimmy Lambert, I got
my first Navy Achievement, my first "Sailor of the Quarter", scored the highest grade on the Chief's exam for the ship. I
left there in '89 for RTC, Orlando to become a Company Commander and made Chief that year. The rest is history. Best crew
and ship I was ever stationed on and had a total of 4 under my belt before I retired. I saw more and did more on Hart than
any other ship or shore command I was stationed on or at. |

Retired (SK1/AW)in 2002 from Navy Recruiting District New Orleans, as the Logistic Support Officer. Had a lot of good times/memories,
and great shipmates. Lots's of port calls to Norfolk Naval Base, we all knew the Tommy Chuck loved staying out to seas which
was our real homeport (Lol). I wonder if any one remember that strange glowing object that buzz us and the other ships that
night while we were out casing a sub that just came out of the shipyards for a week of sea trails. I had the fantail watch
that evening, BM2 McKnight was the Bos'n mate of the watch and MS1 Murray the cook who took all those pictures. Med Cruise
82" was the bomb, port after port after port. Kiel Germany couldn't drink enough beer the glasses were'nt big enough. Aalborg
Denmark if anyone remember, couldn't sleep, the sun would go down, but 30 minutes later, its comes back up, what a visit,
the 4th of July, the party the Mayor gave in honor of the Captain, and them two old ladies that dranked me and SM3 under the
table. Big Red Rough Riders was the theme when I reported onboard, then we painted Ya Gotta Have Hart on the Helo Hanger,
Capt. Pearson was a "DAM COOL" Skipper I'm glad he made ADAM. Capt. Whalen was okay until traded away the UNITAS cruise and
stuck us in the P-Gulf with the USS Deyo if any one remember he departed ship's company no sooner then we pulled in and Cdr.
McMichael took over another outstanding Skipper. It was a pleasure sailing with my shipmates even at times of being at odds
with each other we were still a family and stuck together. |
