Why Join the MASSEY Association?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well if you are cruising through this Web site, then something got you to look for your old ship! There is an old saying that watching fellow shipmates at reunions rings true\u2026 the saying runs \u201cYou can leave the Navy but the Navy doesn\u2019t leave you!\u201d It\u2019s true and attending one reunion will make you a believer. There is something special about being a Navy sea going veteran, especially a Tin Can Sailor! Living in close, cramped, hot and freezing berthing compartments with cold showers and no privacy \u2026 on a \u201csmall boy\u201d that can rock about for weeks\u2026 tends to make you very appreciative of the comforts you have today and of those past fellow shipmates who shared those days with you\u2026 Shipmates who never let you down and always put in the extra effort to help you out!<\/p>\n
