Thank you. Just by coincidence, after I posted that message I saw a special on the F/A 18 and the ship it was on was number 73 and I thought to myself that that sounds like the USS George Washington because I saw a program on the history channel recently which featured life on board your carrier.

Is 73 the GW?

dcb188@uid.onemain.com is my email at home here....would like to talk more about carrier life etc. I spent two and a half years out of my four years in the Marine Corps on Navy bases....
