USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Solon, Mark

Service Dates: 1981 - 1986

Rank/Duty Assigned: I came as an E-2 Striker and left as an E-5 / EM2

Comment: The “Lady Lex” was my first command after Basic and Apprenticeship Training. I met a lot of great people there and learned a lot. I wound up spending 22 years in the Navy. The Navy was good to me – it still is… I presently (as of 10/2008) work at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Va.
