| Comment: | I was aboard the Mt. Mac from Oct. 1953 until she returned to San Diego in late 1954. I , like Richard Parker, remember Smitty, Hoppe, and Pagano. Pagano and I were in boot camp at GLNTC Company 19. And who can forget Tony, the 300 lb. cook? I entered the Navy from East Prairie, MO.
I am now retired after 55 years as a minister/college professor/administrator. |

| Comment: | As a very young graduate of Boot Camp (san diego)and EM A school (san diego)in late 1954 I was stationed on board in E division until 1956. We went to west pack and through the worst of the worst storms on the way to Yokosuka, and had quite a bit of damage and had to go into the yard at yoko.
You had to walk out on deck to get to the Electric shop and battery shop. I recall;Vaughn (EM-3), Hoppe (EM-3),Smith (EM-1) and Pagano (IC-3) |

| Comment: | I served from 1954 to 1957 in OC Division beginning as an RMSA and leaving as an RM3. I served with some of the greatest shipmates a guy could ask for. If there is anyone out there who would like to contact me, please do. Hopefully, I'll see some of you at the 2010 Reunion. |

| Comment: | I was proud to be in the Navy and being on
the Mighty Mac helped boost that pride.
I was on board from 1965 to 1967 in CR
Division...I was a CYNSN (later made 3rd class), wanted to be a RM, but could never
get the code down pat..I remember a lot of
the men in my division...Turcott, Boswell,
Pilney just to name a few.... |
