December 19th, 2009 at 12:39 amWow, what a blast from the past. I was an AZ and I was stationed with Reggie at HS-1 in Jacksonville from 96′-97′ and also in Mayport from 97′-98′. I was watching the last 10 minutes of Wheel of Fortune and I recognized Reggie. I’ve been out of the Navy for almost 10 years but it’s always nice to see someone from those good old days.
Congratulations on your winnings Reggie! It’s good to see that you’ve made a successful career in the Navy.
