He was a dentist on the ship. I still have his hat from when he was on. I know for a fact he was on in 1990 because I was 3 and remeber him being gone that year.

I'm surely not doubting you one little bit, he may have even looked in my mouth.

If he got on board before August 23, 1990, then we served on board together.

I guess my confusion is with Wikipedia and it's lack of reference to the Belleau Wood actually going to the gulf for Desert Storm. I know there was talk about it during my last days onboard, but I never did confirm it. I was too busy looking for work

Didn't go to the gulf. Went to the Philippines and was in subic bay for a bit.

That's interesting my dad was also on the Belleau wood as the supply officer probably 8 years ago. Now she's at the bottom of the sea...
