What a fantastic walk down memory lane! I was on board Midway from 1990-decom. as an MS. I will never forget the experiences I had during my hitch! Any of you S-2 guys see this, drop me a line! Hope the guys in the crew loved their omelet's!

I visited USS Midway August 2004 with a sailor who started his career on the Midway, we were both stationed on USS Ronald Reagan CVN 76. MM1(SW/AW) Charles Smith showed me Midway magic. Charles retired on USS Midway after 20 years of service. That feeling I got when I stepped foot on the Midway is something I will never forget, I am stationed on USS Harry S Truman CVN75 and every time things get rough I look back at my experience on the Midway and I get that feeling again. I was never stationed on Midway but in a way I felt I should have been.

Recently visited the Midway in San Diego. My Dad was on the Shelton and Midway was with him at times. Loved your info on the ship. I see you also lived in Thousand Oaks - it's still a great place.

Served In VAW-115 from 1984 to 1987, Aircraft Division Power Plants shop. Had a great time on the Midway and have found that when I look back on my time there, that it was the best in my life as a young man.

Like your website, and am glad I found it.

Looking for anyone to say hi to that was in the Liberty Bells at the same time. Hello shipmates, hope all are well.
