Jouett History?"
1979 off of Iran. I was an RM3 and I took a radio message to Capt Martin on the bridge. I asked him how close to Iran are we and he said about 10 miles. He said what we needed was some Marines for a show of force. I said that I would volunteer for a landing party and he replied "Son, sailors are lovers not fighters." That is a true story. Almost 30 years ago. Great times on the Jolly J. Haze grey and underway.
