“Home” @ Work: USS MILWAUKEE (AOR-2) Out Replenishing
As in “Always Out Replenishing” (AOR). This video was taken in Apr 93, but….it was my life for 2 years…just 16 years before that.
In any case, excellent close ups of the actual stations where “Diesel Fuel, Marine” (DFM), NATO Code F-76, was transferred, as well as the antics crews sometimes went to for a fun while alongside.
Its always the good times that we remember. Hard work and all that is just part of the job and being part of a team makes even that so much easier. Good video for the archives 🙂
As a Storyteller that was pointed to your site I enjoyed the info on stuff that happened on ships for background to a story I am thinking of doing and one I have now. It puts a different twist to the stern things I have been told and seen.
I can remember that day. I had some video but was lost in a move. Wish i had it from the other side. Ed I was you fuler on the flight desk at that time. It was great to see that video thanks for up loading it.
I’ve traveled extensively, both as a child and in my professional career. I have a global view of the world and the situations we currently face as a nation. Between some practical experiences, lots of reading and some time sitting in classrooms/lecture halls, I have opinions that I will share here.more →
