Comments : I was never actually part of the ship's company but for as much time as I spent on the Vreeland I should have been.
I worked in the van attached to the helo deck. Some of my best Navy memories are from the Vreeland and Athens/Naples. Had a great time and was treated well by the crew. Anyone ever hear what happened to Wittiker, I think he was a boatwains mate at the time from Miami.

Comments : Hey All, It was great reading these post from some old shipmates, really brings back a ton of memories. After relocating to Mobile, Alabama I just recently re-enlisted in the Reserves and am drilling at the reserve center in Mobile. Even after 15 years they let me come bact as an E-6 but made me change my rate from EW to ET, what an insult! haha I look forward to hearing from one and all.
