Hey Myron, I served on Ten-Cans in the late 50s...USS Mansfield DD-728. We use to play cat and mouse with ya'll for days at a time. We were stationed out of Long Beach, CA.

We may have played chase in WesPac in early '58 or mid '59. BREAM's home port was Pearl.

Thanks for the welcome. 243 in my screen name is the hull number of one of the submarines I was on in the late 50s. Years ago when I first joined the innarwebz I tried to use my name on some BBS, forum or whatever and there were already several Myrons. So I just added the 243. Also found out a few numerals in an email address slows down the bot generated spam sent to every known name in the universe at every known ISP.

Bedroom gun is a Remington 12 ga pump, family room/car gun is a S&W 915 and pocket gun is a S&W 642. I'll probably add a few. Change out my pocket gun like my wife changes her purse

Just found this forum this morning and am about to spend a pot of coffee perusing it. Don't have my CHL yet. And not too happy right now.

3/22/09 - class at Carter's Country
3/23/09 - packet mailed
5/11/09 - received PIN via snail
5/26/09 - incomplete application because the passport photo taken at Carter's Country was too light

The young fellow I spoke with at DPS said it was not an uncommon problem. And it will just about start me over at the back of the line.

But I look forward to reading and maybe contributing something occasionally to this forum. Thanks to the admins for making it available.
