Hey Cambron, I just goolged the earth quake and it was the 17th of October; two days after payday, so that explains why you had money to go out drinking; You were probably broke the next day!! Those pay days sucked back then; Years Aboard the USS Pyro (YY-YY): 88-92 22 October 2009 - 22:29 - Blue Springs, Mo;

I remember the other ship hitting us also; it was a gun tub bender; I think that dent is probably still there; I think we had duty that day too; Or I was broke and hanging out on the boat; I couldn't afford to go out and drink all the time like Cambron; Or do the crazy shit Tate did!!!! HAHA I was sitting in R-Div berthing when the quake hit; Little did we know that Oakland was a disaster area, and the Bay Bridge had that section collapse; Years Aboard the USS Pyro (YY-YY): 88-92 22 October 2009 - 22:25 - Blue Springs, Mo;

Just reading news about the earth quake of 1989, I remember having duty that day, the Pyro was docked at Mare Island; The ship kind of bobbed a bit, and the CDO was Ltjg Knause (sp) anyhow I thought the funniest thing was how he had the fire party go out and checked for damage; If anyone remembers how rough the seas were off nocal, then the little ripple we felt would not have done any damage; I guess that was a JO for you!!!
