    The Snipes Lament:

    Posted by Patrick Lawrence Hogue on May 18, 2012 at 1:48pm 1 Comment

    NOW EACH OF US FROM TIME TO TIME, HAS GAZED UPON THE SEA,

    AND WATCHED THE WARSHIPS PULLING OUT, TO KEEP THEIR COUNTRY FREE.

    AND MOST OF US HAVE READ A BOOK; OR HEARD A LUSTY TALE,

    ABOUT THE MEN WHO SAIL THESE SHIPS; THROUGH LIGHTING, WIND AND HAIL.



    BUT THERE'S A PLACE WITHIN EACH SHIP, THAT LEGEND FAILS TO TELL

    IT'S DOWN BELOW THE WATERLINE, IT TAKES A LIVING TOLL 

    A HEATED METAL LIVING HELL THAT SAILORS CALL "THE HOLE".



    IT HOUSES ENGINES RUN BY STEAM,…

    MAKE SURE YOUR SR IS A PART OF FAMILY FUNCTIONS THEY MAY BE MISSING WITH THIS LITTLE TRICK.....

    Posted by Jay Eichman on May 15, 2012 at 1:35pm 1 Comment

    This may not be an original idea but it came to us this past week. My daughter graduated from college and her brother SR Charles Adam Eichman (Sip 12 Div182) could not be there. So she took his HS graduation pic, printed in out, glued it to a paper plate for strength and taped it to a ruler.

    Viola.....FLAT-Adam as he is now affectionately refered to made it to his sisters graduation. We took lots of pictures of him with the Graduate,friends, and family. Everyone wanted to pose with…

    LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!!!

    Posted by Jeff Willows on May 14, 2012 at 2:58pm 1 Comment

    My son Cody started boot camp, 8 May 2012. We are waiting on his first letter home so we can start writing to him. I'm sure he is finding boot very interesting. I'm sure the training has changed since I went through (May/Jun/Jul 1982).... yet I'm sure much of the training is still somewhat the same...We wish him the very best! We are extremely proud of him. After boot camp he will attend Dive-Prep and then go down to Panama City Beach Fl for dive school and after to Eglin AFB for EOD school.…

    What does a Torpedomans Mate, a Corpsman and an Fire Controlman have in common? THE NAVY! HOOYAH!!!

    Posted by Rick B. Perryman on May 13, 2012 at 6:45pm 1 Comment

    After my youngest Son HM Perryman (Gavin) became a Navy Corpsman he began telling his older brother how good Navy life could be.  Brock took the step and went Navy himself.  FCSN Perryman (Brock) graduated on Friday May the 11th, from the Navy's FC "A" school.  Brock was 2nd in his class and graduated with honors.  As a veteran Boomer sailor I have always been proud of my time with the Navy, now as a Father of two sailors I can be proud of…

    My son Jonathan Catchings started boot camp on 04/30/2012 and is with Ship11 Div197. He goes by his middle name Hunter, does anyone else have someone that is part of Ship11 Div197, and if so have you heard anything from them. I know its only been a week but i'm just excited for them.
