I joined Sokule in December 2010.
I was a Free/Bottom Feeder member for 6 years
( Not by Intent )
I’m glad Jane Mark didn’t run me off for being a
Free Member for so long.
Applied for the Sokule Silver Membership Level August 2016.
My objective is to be a Gold Member.
At the age of 19 – 22 I faithfully served aboard a U.S. Naval
Aircraft Carrier 1973-1976 that was Homeported in the
San Francisco Bay.
My address was :
USS Coral – Sea ( CVA – 43 )
Box 30 V-3 Division
FPO San Francisco, CA. 96601
CVA stands for Carrier Vigilante Attack
FPO stands for Fleet Post Office
She boasted a Complement near 5,000 Strong Personnel
from every State in the United States .
This is where I learned, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”.
When we went on Board, we had to Salute the Officer on Duty.
We’d always say, “Request permission to come aboard”.
In August 2016, it seemed like Déjà vu again.
Only this time it was Jane Mark and Phil Basten
Standing at “Parade Rest”. I said, “Request permission
to come aboard Sokule at the Silver Level”. They said,
“Permission granted, we’ve been waiting on ya”.
I said, “30 Thanks for the Wait”.
