While in Argentia in the 66-68 time frame, I had my dad's dress blues "re-piped" and the gunner's mate crow replaced with a sonarman's crow. Dad served in the Pacific during WWII. I proudly wore those dress blues until my CPO initiation.

I still have my flathat. Cindy (daughter) has my BJM. I do have a 1946 edition of the BJM that I picked up in a garage sale somewhere.

Unfortunately, I am one of those individuals that never tosses very much away.
