I was asigned to the Arlington out of boot camp and was sent to Norfolk naval station, to wait for her rebuild from the old Sipan at Mobile, upon waiting my family became in grave danger from a outlaw motor cycle gang that had raped my younger sister, so I was let out on a hard ship discharge. I was able to quile the harasment and get my family out of harms way. I loved the Navy and was lookinjg forward to serving on the USS ARLINGTON, it is still an honor to have bee selected a crew member.

I had the chance to go to the recommissioning in 1966 because I grew up in Arlington , spent my first 26 years there and I lived down the street from the Pentagon. But my father-in-law was the Leo Urbanske, the chairman of the county board so we went to the ship with Miss Arlington and had a wonderful time being special guests from the county. Thanks to all for your service. My dad was a commander(USNA 1922) but was lost on USS Vincennes CA44 in 1942 so the navy is VERY close to my heart. BEAT ARMY

I was only onboard a short time but was there for the Apollo 11 splash-down. It was really something exciting to see the capsule and parachute break out of the clouds. We happened to be closer to the splash-down site and were directed by the USS Hornet to stand-off so the recovery team could move in. I had the teletype repair shop and stayed aboard to decommission the ship in Dec 1969. I retired from the USS Paul F. Foster DD964 in 1979 as a RMCS.
