We found an old photo in the ready room today of a LT being carried by three other JO's. On the back is says "after sending a few day running in the jungle". Trying to find out any info we can on the photo so we can put it up in the bar. Some of the other photos we found are from the Redcoks 67-68 cruise. If anybody has some tipper on the pilot that would really help us out playing our respects. Thanks.

A ready room on a "boat"? There is only one boat still afloat from that era, CVAN-65. Or was this a shore facility ready room?

Probably in the squadron storage locker ashore. We had all kinds of old stuff piled up in a closet in our squadron.
 
We cut a lock off a locker in the head and found all kinds of old stuff in there, even the arming wire from the walleye they dropped on an Iranian ship back in the late 80's. Trying to recover some of the squadrons lost history.
