Were you on Nimitz in '91? I was TAD with COMDESRON 21.

I West-Pac'd on Nimitz in 88-89, and transferred to shore duty on NASNI in 1990, so we missed each other by a year.

Kiwis are a fun bunch of guys to deploy with. Spent a little time with some of your folks in Australia and East Timor. Great group (the Aussies were OK, too )

Very cool! we would know some of the same people. A lot of my friends were there with our hueys. One of the rotations made this video there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BzU1sYPjzo

We all get around, don't we? I've worked with US Navy P3's in Scotland, ANG C130's for Deep Freeze (Antarctica), and US Army in Sinai, Egypt. And these guys are here in NZ for an exercise right now.
