City, State: Virginia Beach VA Comments: I was in VR-24 from 1975 - 1979. Had a blast over in Naples and Sigonella. I was kind of sad to leave Naples but once I got used to Sicily it turned into a great place to be. I got extremely lucky out of A school and got stationed in VR 24 right off the bat. Didn't realize how good I had it until I reached other duty stations afterwards. Looking for Dave Rang, John Fisher, Sal Acampora, and others who were stationed there in those years. Look forward to seeing other posts. Will check back later. Great liberty!!!!!!
City, State: Cape Cod, MA. Homepage URL: http://capecodmouse.com/jacobs/dan/home.html Comments: Return visit, as it's been awhile since I last stopped bye. Served in VR-24 from Dec.1954 until March 1956. Duty was mostly in Air Cargo, but also was on flight crew, and line crew. It was the best duty station I served at, really have some great memories from my time there. Second best duty station was aboard the USS Valley Forge CVS-45, which was where my tour in the Navy ended. Many THANKS Dick for keeping this site going. Always good to stop bye and relive times from my youth. Fair Winds To All Jake

City, State: Mooresville,In. Comments: It's been awhile since I've visited this site, read a few of the comments on the guest book, I remember a few names that was at Naples at the same time I was there. The last time I attended a reunion was the last one Pete Owens put on. I spent several years looking for a couple of buddies, Gene Garcia and Jim Camp from air cargo and found that both passed. Gene in 2005 an Camp some time in the passed couple years. I don't know if any out there remembers these two shipmate, But I thought I would pass this info on as they were a part of a good crew. I was stationed with VR-24 Det. From early 1956 to Late 1957. Anyway the holiday season is upon us already, hope all have a wonderful Christmas. |
