Hey Doty, My name is Mike Rivera, I worked in the Barbershop. I was aboard 1985-1987. I started in Deck and changed rates to Ship Serviceman. In the crew list, we have almost enough men to navigate a destroyer. Im looking through the "recycler" for any used Destroyers. Havn't found one yet.LoL.. Imagine the boat ramp..pulling a Destroyer with someones Ford F550... Have a good day and treasure that patch.. I remember my Brother told me that those patches were called the "drunk" patch. An old PC said it was the "return to sender" patch. Whenever your passed out drunk on a curb, the Shorepatrol can easily return you back to your ship.

Mike,
Thanx for the info...I always wondered how I woke up onboard..LOL "Hic"
