Ours as memory serves me were Ingersoll rands. is that what you guys had on the 688 boats?

Oh I feel so ashamed... I can still draw the basic layout from memory. I can tell you all about the dang blasted oilers on the front of it. Heck, I still remember the blowoff pressures of the relief valves (strange how you can remember this kind of B.S. YEARS later), but can I remember what name was cast into the side?? Nope..

But for some reason.. I do believe they were Worthington compressors

That is probably right. The name is familiar to me but was not the machinery type. I remember very well the diesel was a Fairbanks-Morse 8-1/8th.

Great to see you back Pingjockey! Why did you not reenlist?

My family was more important than the navy basically. I missed my wife and kids and it was silly for them to move to CT. So I got out and moved to IL. Its nice to be back around the forums though. I been very busy as of late.

Married guys seemed to like boomer duty, I guess they had a regular schedule with two crews. I forget if you said you were on the Dallas. Ever know a fellow by the name of Carcioppolo? I think he may have retired before you were there.

Never been on dallas.

I was on the following
SSN 759 (Jefferson City) <--- 688I
SSN 760 (Annapoils) <--- 688I
SSN 775 (Texas) <----Virginia

Well, you should have been...:D

I grew up in the Central Illinois area of Bloomington/Normal and Peoria. Nice to see a fellow Central Illinoisian! Were you able to square away a job after getting out? I'd imagine that the State of Illinois would love to have your skills!

I work for a IT company supporting boeing in St louis at the moment. Its a really good gig so far.
