Howdy

Hey Ocean System Types. We served in Adak and Guam back in the late 80's.
Just thought We'd pop in and say hi. Married 25 years, and our youngest son Nicholas, started West point Yesterday. He was accepted to Annapolis too, but decided on West Point (Army?).... Oh well a former OTA couple gets to brag and say hi to everyone. Carols email is caroltruax@charter.net and mine is davetruax@charter.net.

God Bless,

Dave and Carol

Re: Howdy

Hey Dave and Carol....had no idea you named your son after me.

I still tell the story about that special night at the O Club on Guam. One of the best of my life.

Glad to hear all is well with you and yours. Many congratulations to your son.

Nick

Brandt still can't hit a golf ball straight.

Re: Howdy

Chief - too funny.. We named him Nick as it was such a powerful name that chiefs named Nick could sign GLF as initials on chits.... He is in his third year and is fluent in Russian. 8th in his class and as already a Ranger. They have him all over the Baltic anymore. Something tells me he's going to be a Jason Borne....

Re: Howdy

congrats yall!

Re: Howdy

Dave & Carol,

Welcome to this list, congratulations on your 25th and on your son's success.

Re: Howdy

Hey Dave and Carol, glad you are all well and congratulations on your son's appointment to West Point! Hopefully he won't live in open bay barracks, because weird things can occur in that environment. So I hear.

I miss those days, seems like only yesterday. Everyone was peeing, kind of a nuisance!

Re: Howdy

Everyone was peeing, peeing, peeing..... Seems the Shore Patrol only woke me up to identify the mad peer once. Cookies shoes always smelled like pee after though.

Re: Howdy

It was so hard trying to keep you calm, Brett. We never knew what you were going to do crazy next. I was always saying “Brett, you need to knock off the Tom Foolery, and study had, eat right, do your BMR and hit the Rack by 9:00 every night.” But no... you had to “walk into people,talk to Frog in VA beach, throw things while yelling in the barracks at night, and manner of things that Me and Jim head would just flabbergasted by.
