Did my Part I at Dolphin in 1974, then straight to Otway as LRO for my Part III. Really enjoyed my time, particularly on the 1975 Rimpac trip. Went to the UK as part of Orion's commissioning crew, and had a great time. Got sidetracked into the spook stream (in hindsight, I'm, still a bit pissed off about that), so got drafted away from routine boat running, but did a few trips on Orion and Otama. Currently living in Adelaide with my wife, Anna, and enjoying retirement. For a couple of reasons I withdrew a bit from the submarine community a few years ago, but really happy to be back, and looking forward to meeting up again. |

which was 17 years. I still think civvies don’t know the meaning of or
how to have fun. Kept being asked if I missed boats. Got to admit I didn’t know until I went on the Onslow in Darling Harbour. Answer? It brought back the best memories a guy could ask for and serving with you guys was the best thing I ever did. |

Would still be in boats today if the bastards hadn't
paid me off on compassionate grounds. Who remembers the great shit tank
explosion on Otway in NZ in 70-71? I had the honour of being the last
crew member ever in Otway, as a firie, putting out the fire in her hull
on the wharf at GI when she was being scrapped. Ian MacDougal was on the
wharf to pay his last respects as well. |

They were the best of times and the worst of times but both were hard to forget because of the incredible breed called submariners. New or old, regardless of background you can always pick a submariner. Its amazing where we all wound up. |
