Ditto on the welcome to Chief Nicholson!! Wow a Boastwain Mate Surface Warfare Qualified Chief at the age of 36, I can tell that you were always in for the duration. I bet you have a few anchor tatoos strategically placed about your person. If you continue to be active duty and have the time to reply to our forum, then there's no reason for the Cochrane's civies not to post. Hey, Chief you ever run across a GMM Xavier Cantu? He was once a boats, but struck out to be a gunner. I fairly sure he's still in as a GMM1.

Schlog: I would also like to see more exCochranites letting folks that care, know that they're still on this earth. Here's to that objective. Spelling? Don't sweat the small stuff brother...GMG Sal

Right on Sal . By the way , my spelling is directly related to the amount of adult beverages that come close enough to me for my personal consumption .
Thanks to all of you that respond to this site .
