Years Served: 1954…After discharge I spent 16 yrs in Navy Reserve, became tool & die maker in auto industry and President of local union in Toledo, OH. Have been retired 15 years now and live by two man made lakes in West KY. Life is good. Would love to hear from anyone.
Years Served: 1954 thru 1960…went aboard the USS Maddox in 1955 saw a lot of the far east and Brisbane , Australia cross the Equator twice ran the captain gig and during that time the starboard 3 inch 50 was my gun. While paroling the Formosa Straits we saw a abandon Junk and was ordered to sink it Hit it with the first shot after that couldn’t hit it again finally we ran over it. Second division was my home. After Australia the Ex officer ( whom I think was a great man ) knew I wanted off the ship he told me he was getting transferred to Washington to finish out his career and if I wanted off I was to find a swap and he would approve it and when we got to Sasebo, Japan I went aboard the USS Peacock and swap with a sailor that wanted to come home , I then became a Mine Sweep Sailor. See My Web site georgeearl.com. Thank You
Years Served: 1952-1953…Shipmates, Fond memories! May God protect and bless America!
Years Served: 1961 THRU 1964…After leaving the Navy, I became a Police Officer in San Bernardino, for several years. Not enough money in that line of work to justify being shot at, cussed at, spit at, etc., etc. I came back to Northern Calif. and started a Burglar Alarm Co. and have been doing that for 31 years.
Feb. 1965 to Oct. 1967
Served aboard the USS Maddox from ’67 – ’69. Great captain, great crew and many good memories. Did our Vietnam tour in ’68 during the Tet Offensive, steaming with the battleship New Jersey, then below the DMZ on carrier patrol.
Enjoyed our ports of call in Hawaii, Midway, Guam, Sasebo Japan, Hong Kong and our home port of Subic Bay. I was honored to serve aboard the Maddox with some great shipmates while serving our country.
Sorry to here about Jacobi. i have a PICTURE OF HIM AND I ON THE MADDOX TOGETHER .THANK YOU ALL FOR SERVING !!
