I did not serve in the military...However my father did he was in the Navy from 1951-63 he got out on a hardship discharge when his father was killed in a car accident. He got out to help support his family...his sister was in a wheelchair and his brother who served in the Army was in Korea. He has told me he didnt see action but spent a lot of time in the mediterrainian sea. He was a pipe fitter second class. He doesn't talk about his military life at all. I wish he would his health isnt good and he's 77 yo. But I do know he was proud to have served. Thank you for your time and attention.

US Navy, 1958-1962. Radioman, served two years aboard USS Saint Paul CA73 (Heavy Cruiser, 8" main guns) flagship for Seventh Fleet, homeported Yokosuka, Japan. Rode out two typhoons, crossed the equator twice and went up the Saigon River to visit Saigon, South Vietnam. A heavy cruiser just isn't ideal for riverine ops.
Last year at Port Hueneme, California......liked sea duty much more.

We were in the old wood barracks on one of the last company streets before the back gate to Fountain. Our motor pool was the last, or maybe second to last, one before the gate.
Too darn cold for a Florida boy, especially going to the field in below zero weather.
