It may be hard to believe, But the old COB is still around. After the Rivers I retired as Command Master Chief and my disabilities from NAM started acting up. My tour at Sub base Pearl was cut short to only two years. Rivers was my best tour in my 35 years, 5 months, 11 days, and 6 hours. We had the best Officers and enlisted a boat could want, We won every award available and some we can't talk about. It was a crying shame to put that gallant Lady to rest. God Bless Our Navy.

Never on board but served with RL Jolley in boot and on the Rock with 3rd Med Bn. and would like to connect again.

I just wanted to say hello to all the LMR sailors. I served with A-gang from 90-94. I see a picture of Dom and I posing in Puerto Rico. I recognize a couple of the Chiefs in the picture. On the left is Chief Chapman and up front I'm pretty sure was Chief Friedman. I'm currently a Senior Chief stationed at the Naval Safety Center in Norfolk, VA as the DC Analyst. It's good to see this site. This was the best tour of my career.

Brian, I have some pictures that I took on the last Med Run 99. I would like to post them...........

Really miss all of you. Love this site. How can I add more pictures to this place, got tons of them. The pictures of the new CPO's. We did the honors in Portsmouth England. Tony Chapman QM, Garrison Rm, Rodney was ET. What a great bunch of New CPO's, Make us all proud!
