Navy Nuclear weapons Association 2005 Reunion

On October 19th I attended the 2005 Navy Nuclear Weapons Association 25th annual reunion. The reunion took place in San Diego, California and was well attended by our association's members (over 100). The gathering included a tour of my old ship the aircraft carrier, the USS Midway (CVA-41) which is now a popular nautical/aeronautical museum in San Diego. I was stationed on Midway from 1980 to 1983. She was a great ship, and as W Division Officer I was part of a great crew. At the reunion, I informed everyone that my book "Brotherhood of Doom: Memoirs of a Navy Nuclear weaponsman" was soon to be published (I hope within a year)? The Naval Institute Press is currently reviewing my draft. Many of the attendees exclaimed, "finally our story will be told."
