CRUISE COLLAGE t 7 Wmf . ' ■ A

Page 7 text:

EXECUTIVE OFFICER LCDR Patrick A. Tracy COMMAND SENIOR CHIEF ETCS(SW) Richard S. Foster This is ' the year that was ' . We will all look back at 1990 as the year: accelerated workups, a thousand DC discrepancies to correct before REFTRA, MEFEX, MEFEX and more ME- FEX, the Persian Gulf, and DESERT SHIELD. It was the year of, for most of us, our first real GQ. And the first boarding in the Gulf of a suspi- cious vessel. For some, the first local San Miguel beer. From those doing the salt water washdowns of the TACAN platform, to the guys cleaning the bilges, each shipmate gave his best effort to get DAVID R. RAY through the long, hot summer and safely home again. We grew together as a team, faced some very tough challenges, and were always ready to answer the call. I am proud to have had the opportunity to serve among such a fine crew. WESTPAC 90 was my first opportunity to experience the challenges of a Middle East de- ployment. I enjoyed serving as the Command Senior Chief and the experiences of visiting with the Secretary Of Defense, flying to Dahran, Sau- di Arabia to be on the TODAY show, the invasion of Kuwait, and Operation Desert Shield. My first encounters with Far East countries in Thailand, Singapore, and Bahrain will long be remem- bered. Crossing the equator and becoming a Shellback gave the crew the opportunity to even their scores. The reunion with my wife in Hawaii and the support from the people across America gave me a strong feeling of pride in the accomplishments of the crew and the USS David R. Ray.
