I was in Amtracs. I lived on a ship. The longest was a West Pac from OKI on the USS Shenectady- we called it the skinny tity. Got caught in a typhoon coming out of Hong Cong harbor out in the sea of Japan. The left side prop came off and the left steering paddle also. The bildge pumps quit short of Japan and the Coast Guard had to bring portable pumps. That LST was rolling all over the place. That flat bottom piece of S"t. I was on the Bristol County and the Tarawa. That was a nice one compared to the LST's. 1976 to 1979.

I never had the 'pleasure' to be aboard ship, but this post reminds me of what my Grandfather (retired Navy, 27 years) told me when I metioned to him that I didnt want to join the Navy becuase I didnt want to be stuck on ships all the time...His reponse was:
Do you know what Marine stands for?

This is in response to the moldy barracks at Bragg issue. As a former Marine and Army Paratrooper. I lived in the Barracks on smoke bomb hill, and was Barracks NCO. The mold is not caused by lack of cleanliness or hygiene. We conducted Field Day/G.I. parties just like I did in the Corps.
The mold is a product of humidity combined with inoperable ventilation and duct systems. It didn't have a quick fix. After several attempts we were moved to different Barracks. Its **** poor to have a mold garden sprout on your Service Alphas/Class A's. every night.
I'm proud of all of my military service, Marine Corps and Army. Rest assured the problems don't exist because soldiers don't know how to use gp cleaner and a green monster.
Lastly, all the politicians are going to take advantage of this minor event. Bottom line up front. Should have been squared away ASAP at the unit level. Not trying to sound like a highbrow Sociologist, but the demographic change from less than half to more than two thirds families versus single in a decade has had a significant impact on single soldier facilities. The entire military is stretched thin right now in resources, both human and financial. SSG(former Marine Corps Cpl) Martin

USS Nassau LPH 4(?) I'm getting old. According to the squids, her maiden voyage. Went to Cuba to reinforce the barracks when Castro threatened to have the Marines thrown off the base with help from his Russian friends.
Do Coast Guard vessels count?
