Hello to everyone at OTT!!! I have been browsing the site for a while and just got around to registering today. Seems like there are some of you I already know just from simply reading all your posts.
I own a B3300HST with FEL that I use to maintain 5 acres of land, and well, my neighbors get some benefit from my ownership as well Great to be an official member and hope to engage in many productive threads. Thanks to the moderators and all the members that make this site what it is!!

Ah......I see you know your military acronyms lol.....I was attached to the Seventh Fleet out of Yokosuka, Japan as an Intelligence Specialist. I was fortunate enough to see many places, not limited to, but including Pohang, Pusan, Osan South Korea.....Bali, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Jakarta Indonesia, Townsville, Sydney, Hobart, Perth Australia, Manilla, Phillipines, Guam......and then after my service time I spent time in Israel, Egypt, Italy and East Africa as a contractor. Quite the experiences some I wish not to relive but none I will forget! Oh and to answer which boat, well many of them.......while was with 7th Fleet it was the ship USS Blue Ridge.

I hated to see it deactivated, but it was in service a long time. My brother was on it when it was fairly new and operating in air operations off Vietnam.
