We are back, lets get this party started!
We are back, lets get this party started!
Catching up on old times. We just picked up where we left off 30 years ago.
Bob Marc-Aurel even tried to convince us he could still fit in his old uniform...not!
We spent a lot of time in the pool during the day...
We also spent a lot of time in the pool at night !
We were all pleasantly surprised when our old Battery Commander, Nick Prncipe showed up. He was only able to attend for one day, but what a way to kick off the reunion.
Another highlight was to be able to return to the Tac site.
The Navy arrived to let us in, but couldn't figure out the combination to
the lock. So in true Charlie Battery tradition, we just crawled through
a hole in the fence.
Walking through our past, and it felt like it was just yesterday that we
were pulling duty in this same spot.
Neglected and showing the ravishes of time. Oh, I am not talking about the
ready building, I was talking about us!
Lt Rhyne (LT then, COL now) got us to stand one last formation at Charlie
Battery. OK, we are not the sharpest looking outfit in this man's army,
but we were proud to be back together.
Home again. Visiting our old barracks on the NAS.
More beer and food at the Geiger Key Marina
Grilling burgers at the beach party
Dancing the night away...not bad for a bunch of old guys
Sunset cruise in the harbor (yep, more beer)
To me this picture sums up the reunion. Old friends back together, drinking
beer out of canteen cups. It don't get no better than this!!!
