Years Served: 1983-1984…Served during West Pac 83-84. VA-192 – AMHAN. A shitty cruise – but as always – enjoyed the PI, and my shipmates were all great.

Years Served: 1983-1984…Mr. Boucher – I was in the middle of that fire during that cruise in 1983. I don’t know your dad (big ship) and there were lots of people fighting the fire and pulling guys out of it. I remember that event like it was yesterday. A really sad thing that was; we lost quite a few good men in that fire.
