I remember it very well. I was on leave between duty stations. I was due at my new station till the 15th. I was at my dads in NC. I got called by my sponsor on the ship to let me know the advancement exams were the 12th and asked if I was going to check in early for them. I left my dads house the morning of the 11th and headed to Jacksonville, FL. The more and more reports that came in the faster I drove. I was pulled over three times for excessive speeding but all the cops let me go when they found out I was active millitary heading to my ship. I stopped at a rest area at the FL border to call my ship and see if I could even get on the base. It took several hours to get on the base and the ship. I wasn't allowed to leave the ship for the next 5 days. I was put on to the watchbill manning an M60. My prayers go out to all the families that lost loved ones.
