Veterans Get Together at the Pub

[zonacruiser25]

I always look forward to the Veterans get together on our cruise.  No reason we can't have one here.  Share your information and let's swap stories.  Steve Hintz, US Navy 1972-1981 and I served on submarines.  Spent most of my sea duty out of Pearl Harbor.

Every ship that I've been on has a veteran's get together as some point during the cruise. It's in the daily announcements. I've always enjoyed them.
