Dan Boatman of Tulsa OK. and Rick Palmer on liberty in Waikiki club in 1967. In Hawaii
at that time the drinking age was 20 so we had a great time while there.
The young lady was nice enough to sit and talk with us for a while. We certainly
enjoyed her company, even for a short time. By the time we hit Pearl on the return trip I had turned 21. I spent my 21st birthday
on the gunline off Cape Batangan South of DaNang. Ahh, those were good days. |
Thanks to Ron Jewell for these two. |
Note: If there is anyone unidentified and you know who it is please contact us. Thanks |

Bill Winters was an ADJ 3 assigned to the DASH crew in AS Div. The Aviation rates
was nicknamed 'Airdale" and weren't common on destroyers. Mostly found on aircraft
carriers since they work on aircraft. Bill worked with the DASH Helo. This was taken by QMSN Rich Bashlor and the coast of Oahu is behind. That mound right above the lifeline post on the horizon is the Famous Diamond Head at Waikiki Beach. Taken in 1967. |

From MC Howard Picture below is from a boar hunt showing crew members with rifle and a killed beast with some local people around and kids no doubt in awe. I would be surprised if in todays navy crew members could still do this. Most countries have outlawed guns by law abiding private owners anyway. I believe this is in Turkey. Left to right D.R. Sobieck, LLoyd McCintock, Ollie Underwood and UNknown. |
