What I've Been Up To: A lot of water under the bridge...or dome, or whatever. I was a member back in '98, which is evidently the last time I checked in. Back on Active Duty, for the 3rd time...this time with Targets at USCENTCOM. My job is a blast...literally!
I would like to resubmit an application, or get current on my dues, or whatever it takes.
I also want to know if anyone out there has a digital scan or logo of the old FLEASWTRACENPAC logo from the 80's...
Also, if you guys haven't seen it, or done so, you should log into www.navy.weservedtogether.com and get your profiles going. Great site to find old friends. This thing is growing like wildfire, and it's free.
Happy soundings....
