3 years and 7 months at sea always out of Norfolk, VA. Me, Uncle Sam and a whole lot of others consider me a veteran. I make it a point to use Vietnam Era Vet to avoid confusion and honor those that are Vietnam Vets.

Welcome to the forums MaB. I was in Norfolk 70-72. Quartermaster on the Forrestal. What were your ships, rate?

I was on the Independence and the Belknap. You may remember the Belknap. It ran underneath an elevator on the America in 1975. When the Navy and I parted company in April 1973 I was a BT2, the Belknap’s oil king. A life time ago.

I spent four years in the U.S. Navy, during the Vietnam War. I was never in harm's way, didn't miss a meal, and slept on clean sheets every night. Like you, I'm a Vietnam Era Vet. I gave my time, those who lives were in danger are Vietnam War Vets.
