I take it you served on the Iroquois class DDH 281 or you would be retired as I am. My Huron was broken up in 1965.
I(was also on the Bonnie for a couple of years

HMCS HURON Tribal Class DDE 216

I look at that pic of the aircraft carrier and i dream of flying one of those planes.

I honestly would love to do that for a job, but i never really knew how to go about joining and am now applying to university for architecture.

The biggest thing that was discouraging was the fact that i was told you need perfect 20/20 vision to fly and the oppertuinty in canada to actually get a job flying one was slim to none.

I dont need to wear glasses or anything but the doctors did tell me i do not have perfect vision.

But i also like architecture so... i guess ill see where that takes me.

As said before I have pictures galore but on 35mm and the negatives on some have got a little scratched .If you look closely at the missouri you can see two bullets coming out of the fire ball.Digger the huron was 280 class .Nice thing on the ship I was ew/fc so I got to take pictures .Did two fareast tours so you tend to see some different things in this world.

Heres a couple more,glad to see there is a few sailors on here .Digger I have to assume you were a stoker if you went to the fire boats after your service .
This is the gatineau coming into esquimalt ,had bw in because had been doing some EW pics.

This picture is of the Terra Nova coming up the columbia river into Portland oregon for the rose festival.

This one is from the mackenzie playing follow the leader .

Maybe we could call this military post it would be very interesting to me at least to see some of the pictures of our past and present military personel from around the world.
