Boarded, did 3.5 West Pacs in 5 years. Then on some mobile communication detachments for forward command post etc. Did Adak Ak, Phil, the sand boxes, Guam, Hawaii etc.
Last ship was the USS California (CGN) and did a Crackpac (South America).
Can't remember all the countries off the top of me head, but includes Kenya, Australia, Pakistan, Shrilanka, Tasmania, Korea, Thailand, Panama, Guatamala, Columbia, Manta, Curacao and some sandy places.

Good stuff. Despite my lack of an apparent haircut now-a-days, still miss it sometimes. But still in the game so to speak and still get to travel around a bit.
