Memories of Brian's time @ HSL 46



Brian is checking out of HSL 46 this week. He's been with 46 since we first got orders to Mayport, four years ago next month. (For those of you who are not Navy inclined Brian is in the avaiation department and instead of being assigned to a ship he was assigned to a helicopter squadron where he's worked as an aviation electician on 60's/seahawks) He'll go to school for the next two months @ NAS JAX, take a months leave and then start (just a few helo hangers down) at HSL 40 for TWO years of shore duty!!! Three cheers for shore duty!!! He has made some great friends while working at 46, went up two ranks, been to Autec in the Bahamas, been on two and a half deployments, three different ships (the Klakring, the Monteray, and the Mason) and got to visit some pretty amazing places... Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Dubai, Germany, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Estonia, Poland, St. Kits, Cuba, Belgium...I'm sure I'm missing some... mainly places in the Persian Gulf I can't pronounce much less spell and several islands in the Carribbean.
As cheesy as it may be I am sooo proud of him for all of the days, weeks, and months that he spent out at sea doing his job and serving his country. Job well done Brian! Cherish your memories and let's move on forward to HSL 40 and your TWO years of shore duty.
