D80-23-28 I think it was while I was in boot camp or shortly after the military went to SSN. The push now is to remove the SSN from all ID cards. The House Admiral's card has already been changed, mine when I sign up for Medicare.

I think B-52's had the j-57. May be wrong, but. The J-57 also used on F-8 with afterburner and the A-3 Skywarrior and probably others. I believe the Boeing 707 used a non afterburning J-79 as well.

The whistling J-57. We lived right under the flight path at Whidbey Is. for a while (Victory housing). At about 200-300 ft. on approach, the A-3 sure made itself presence known.

543 58 97. I can even repeat it backwards! When I reported to my first duty station after A school the sentry asked for it backwards while holding my ID. I did it much to his dismay.

Never forgot it after that.

Funny how that service number never leaves you. Also funny about a month ago I received a medal, for my navy tour in Gitmo and the blockade, from the government. They were 45 years late. it just came in the mail.

Jim,

The Government has been late with a lot of awards for Vets.

At least you got yours while you could still appreciate it. Too many never saw theirs.

I'll wager that there is not ONE poster on this thread who can't remember their Service Number. (479-55-19)

And some of us remember the service number of that special someone we wrote to while they were overseas. I can still reel off Mike's. When I was in, it was SSN, not nearly as interesting as a seperate service number.

I've been trying to remember my Service Number for days finally came to me.

How could you forget it?

Jim Godward · « **Reply #106 on:** November 28, 2011, 11:06:19 PM »

I know it but I also currently use it for computer stuff so will not post it. Now rifle numbers, NO WAY as I had too many different ones and it was a good thing I did not have to stand inspections after I got out of electronics school.

My wife at the time could rattle my service number off but didn't know her own SSN.

Jim, I'm like you, I remember mine but use it for passwords, etc. I'm also surprised at how much Morse code I still remember, & the Q & Z signals too.

Clark used to have a nice golf course. Green fees and caddies were pretty cheap. If I were able to play golf anymore, I'd like to play Clark again. But, alas, there is no more Clark.

mnmnutswer · « **Reply #114 on:** December 08, 2011, 08:15:35 PM »

The military posts are open to everyone for play. Do not need to be military anymore to play there course's. Now that opens up a lot of course's to play accross the US.

But the Cubi bar still exists. I think that's what they called it. :-) It was re-constructed at the museum in Pensacola.

We were in the same years! Did you go through Great Lakes for boot camp? Might have been in the same company!!

Paul,
Turns out a lot of blockade ships did not get the medal and ribbon. The Navy changed the dates of the conflict and you might be in line for a medal. My ship was reclassified and our reunion team sent the paperwork to some part of the government. If you belong to one of the veterans organizations they should help you get the facts.
