I came aboard the Markab in 1966 from ET"A" School on Treasure Island. I had put in for "Brother Duty" since my brother Vic was already on board in the Small Engine Repair Shop. I made two WesPac cruises, and enjoyed some interesting experiences. My first cruise with Mr. Miller as Division Officer, Master Chief Hall and Chief Montano running things was great, but when they left and their replacements came aboard things went down hill fast. In addition to being responsible for the Ted/Red communication equipment I became the Krypto repairman. I can still remember being called up to Radio Central around 0200 one morning and working on the Krypto gear that was down when I had the Captain walk up behind me and ask when "His" Crypto would be back on line. I almost filled my skivvy shorts, but managed to respond and had the equipment back on line shortly. Has anyone every heard from Jerry Edwards? He's reumored to be in Northern Calif. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Reno at the reunion. Stan

Hi former shipmates. I served in Markab from 04/53 until 08/54. Worked in Ship's Office for YNC Sheppard. Never revisited, and retired in 1973 as PNC. What a great history the old girl had.

Aboard 1969 and helped decommission her at Mare Island 69 December. I have an original copy of a "Sailor of the Sargasso Sea" certificate for the decommission. I brought it when the reunion was in Colorado Springs.

My dad,Richard(Dick)Bennett, served on the Markab from 44 to 45 and was a SF3rd class. He was a great dad and person. My dad died in June of 09 and one way that helps me keep his memory alive is to get as much information about his WW2 days and the time he spent on the Markab. I have tried to get as much information and tokens from the "Can do" ship as possible and have done pretty well. Any old sailor that new my dad please e-mail me. He lived in Lakewood (Tacoma)Washington with my mom (doing well), in the house that he built for 62 years. God bless all of you. Kent Bennett

I am one of the “younger” MARKAB shipmates (only 60 now). I served from May 1968 to December 1969. Out of bootcamp I was classified (maybe misclassified) as a machinest mate; however, my first assignment was as the yeoman in the R-2 division (trained by Moose Syverson) and eventually I was moved to the R-5 division to work in the repair department office (LtCdr Gardner and Chief Lake were my bosses). I made the last Westpac, the last passage under the Golden Gate Bridge and the final “day cruise” from Alameda NAS to Vallejo. On the Friday in December 1969 when the MARKAB commission ensign was lowered, I was there. If shipmates from my era will be attending the Reno reunion, I would be delighted to attend. If you know what “Greek, Greek” and “Smitty, Smitty” is all about, you are from my era. If you remember the cook out on the fantail and the song “Last night I came home as drunk as I could be”, you are from my era. If you thought the ship’s motto was “I need a bigger hammer!”, then you are from my era. Bill, can you give me an idea of who will be attending the reunion so that I can make my plans to attend. Can Do, Will Do, Glad to Do!
