flight deck crash, '81 off coast of Florida
I was sent to North Island for a computer school. while I was on my way back, the ship went out on work ups off the coast of Florida. when I got to Norfolk I heard the news and spent 3 weeks doing Honor guard duty and, although it sounds morbid, I liked doing that until the ship returned. It was an honor to be able to be at the funerals of those shipmates who died either on active duty or retired and to present the flag to their family members.
