  • Hoot, Hoot. Good to visit with you last month.

  • Geo. I trying to help one of our squadron 5 veterans (fallen) Lt. Nick J. Mergo. His son Nick jr. contacted me asking for information and I though I would reach out to those that served together on the RANGER AND AT SANFORD. The Lt. flew several missions and especially one looking for one of our downed planes, so I thought you may remember something and could provide information that may help in his claim. I posted this in RVAHNECC asking for help and I will send info. on to the family.

  • Fred -

    You are correct I was in the BACE shop from Feb 1964 to Dec 1966.  I believe you were AE2 the best I can remember.  If I am wrong just caulk it up to old age.  We made Westpac cruise on USS Ranger and then to the Med on USS America.  I was then transferred to RVAH-3.  It is good to hear from you.  Keep in touch. 

  • Hi, George my name is Fred Myers and I worked in the BASE shop on the ranger in 1963 on the west pac, I was in RVAH 5. It seems like you were my 1st class PO. Are you the right guy?

  • Welcome aboard George.  Reading posts and looking at pictures on RECCENET will stir up some great memories. 

  • Glad to see that you found this web site sir.  It has been a lot of years since we were in Rota setting up that mobile maintenance facility for the wing.

    We are over here in Hawaii for a couple of weeks.  One of my friends is a dentist who did a Vietnam tour on a Navy destroyer in the late 60s.  One of the things that we talk about a lot is that we were all so darn young and had so much expectations and responsibilities put on us at that very young age.   I always think that you officers were much older, but in hind sight you were all quite young also.

    After spending 35 years as professional in the business world, I am still amazed that we were expected to do what we did then compared to the expectations today of younger people.  I tell my kids that it was not just luck, but a lot of hard work and dedication to duty.

    Proud to have served with you on the one RVAH-9 cruise and the Rota deployment.  You were a fine man and good officer.

  • Welcome aboard my Savage Son Brother I was in Five 71 to 74. George ( Bud) Steil

  • Hello George,
