Kocatepe Shipmates

I live in Turkey in Istanbul in Asia side. I have retired From Turkish Navy as cpo in 1995 and now working in a private company. My wife is a secretary. Also she is retired but she is still working too. Because we have a daughter and she is studying in university. Hope to be fully retired two years later. My home town is by the istanbul bosphorus. Its a calm and peacefull place. Many Turkish, Jewish, Armenian and Greek people here live together friendly since many centuries. Unfortunately we have lost many shipmates in1999 during big quake. Because center of quake was very close the Gölcük. ( Gölcük is main Turkish navy port like Norfolk in USA.).
