USS Independence 30 Yr Reunion
Manage episode 358516708 series 3404008
In this episode of the Outstanding People podcast I catch up with my Navy brothers Dan Monteleone, Naiche Sedillos, Frank Kaiser and Paul Allen from the USS Independence. 30 years ago we served in the Forward Deployed 7th Fleet with Carrier Air Wing 5 stationed in Japan. Our deployments took us all over Asia and Southwest Asia including multiple deployments to the Persian Gulf during operations in the first Gulf War. I was attached to Electronic Warfare Squadron 136 and my shipmates were part of the ships DC Company Fire Party detail. Usually Air Wing and Ships Company do not co-mingle but because I grew up with Dan back home in Miami I was given a pass and inducted into a friendship with a colorful group of Sailors. This week's podcast is a reunion 30 years in the making. We talk major smack only the way Sailors can. There is no education value in this one, just Squids being Squids. Full disclosure, a lot of F Bombs were used making this podcast, so listener be warned. Enjoy!!!
