My mom found my shellback card among some stuff in her basement and asked if I’d like her to send it to me. Yes, please! Darned if I want to earn a replacement card.

Shwllback3 was my radio callsign in Vietnam in '67 & '68.

Nice. I got mine 4 miles off the coast of Mogadishu in '94.

I got mine on the way home from Australia in 1985.

Did you fly out and then sail home?

[HardwareLust]

Nah, it was the tail end of a WESTPAC, we were on our way home from liberty in Perth. We skipped it on the way down.

Similar here! Except we got it going out on WESTPAC, not on our way home from Perth.
