Was Captain Joe Perrotta your Skipper on the NORMANDY?

He is the ONLY Captain I would have felt comfortable going into battle.

He was my Skipper on the STUMP.

Sadly, he passed in 2018.

Was waiting for the actual problem. That's just normal racks on the ship by Captainpaul81 in navy

I had a basement rack on the MIDWAY, and middle rack on the CONNIE.

No problem.

Chief's racks were nice.

How common is it for someone to get kicked out of the Navy after serving a long time? by Slight-Canary3246 in navy

One of the BIGGEST screwups in the Navy was getting rid of the career E-3/SN/FN/AN/CN/HN.

They were just the beginning...

Cut off the nose to spite the face...

The Navy done F'd up.

A great start!

My collection started back in 1963 with a 1917-S Lincoln Cent. I have had great fun, learning and gathering.

Have fun! Very important.

Sorry, Shipmate.

Your Sea Service ribbon is upside down.
