Hey Jim...

Found this photo of me receiving my dolphins.  It looks like I was an RMSN(SS), with Carmack standing to my left, and Smedley QMSN(SS) behind us.  Aside from Captain Sweet, the only other name I remember is the COB....Chief Carnes.

Also attached is a large photo of the boat... don't know if I saw it on the website of not.
