I left HS in June of 65' to join the US Navy. Wanted to get
out and see the world. Reported aboard the USS Carpenter DD-825 in
Nov 65. Served aboard the Carpenter until Nov 68. with a Tour of
Duty in Vietnam. Member of the Tokin Gulf Yacht Club. Was assigned
Left Gun Projectlemen in Mt51. This is the reason I don't hear out
of my left ear that well. Was Honorably discharged in Nov 68 from
Treasure Island, CA. Later on in 1980 decided to join the USNR and
served in a Combat Cargo Handling Battalion until 1984. Honorably
dischared in Sept 1984.
I have had 4 Uncles that were all Navy Chiefs and my Mother was a T-Sgt
in the US Army serving in London during WWII. I have a big military
background. Serving in the US Navy was a whole new experience for
me. It opened my eyes to the world around me. Vietnam was another
experience that I will never forget. I was only 18 when I joined
and was never away from home. For the first time in my Life and had
to learn, and learn real fast.
