US NAVY active duty 1965-1969. IC3, served on the USS Little Rock CLG-4 and the USS MacDonough DLG-8. All you Navy guys that served on a ship or worked in a shipyard should get checked for Asbestosis. Two years ago got checked myself and tested positive, in fact every Navy vet at our screening tested positive, some with minor scaring and some pretty sever.
Thanks for the reminder. Hubby and I should go get checked.
Weird little sea story: we both worked on board the
USS Long Beach CGN 9. CIC was located in a space between the reactors. There were signs on the wall saying "no berthing in this space" but apparently it was ok to work 20 hours a day there, as long as you didn't fall asleep. :B
