Re: The Retired Enlisted Association (TREA)

I have a request that possibly you can help me with; not many veterans are aware of the reunion listings on our web site. I'm sure many of your shipmates have been on other ships and may wonder if those ships have a reunion. Would It be possible to put a note in your web site or any published newsl...

Adding Pics

Ok, so I'm uploading pics from the Jax '05 Reunion. So far, so good. Only I don't have an option to put them in the '05 Reunion album, they just end up as a random file. Anything I can do to put them where they belong? How about adding descriptive comments after they've uploaded? Can I do that?

Myra (the wife) and I are leaving Friday the 17th for 9 glorious fun-in-the-sun golf-and-sportsbar-filled days and nights in Myrtle Beach, SC....

Re: Enough, guys! Who's here?

Hi Russ, Thanks for the welcome. A couple things kept me busy for the past couple of weeks and I apologize for the delay in response. No biggie, I've been rather busy myself.
