Dan39 years young, 21 years in the Navy and am now a US Navy Lieutenant who came up through the enlisted ranks to make Electronic Technician Chief Petty Officer (SUBMARINES) then was commissioned as a Limited Duty Officer (Submarine Electronics). Live in La Maddalena, Italy and work as the Port Operations Officer, I get to play with 2 tug boats, 3 Landing Craft Mechanized, 7 fast response boats, 3 RHIB boats and 2 mooseboats and other cool stuff all day, not to mention the best sailors in the World work and play here.
Saw earlier in this post that one of the other members lives here as well, Zach S., I darn near fell out of my chair when I saw that. For those of you that do not know this place, it is a SMALL and I mean SMALL island north of Sardegna, Italy which is a large island that for the most part the rest of Italy hardly acknowledges as part of Italy. Take out a map and look us up, it is a flea in the big realm of things, but it is paradise to say the least.
Zach S. drop down to the Port Ops barge one day and introduce yourself. It would be good to meet up with a fellow collector.
Ciao'
