I wasn't in a real hurry to enlist. Graduated high school in 1960. About that time Dad stopped farming. I got a job in a factory in town. I was having a good time, every thing was good. A few years went by, then that four letter kept coming up. The draft. Around age 22 I started getting anxious. After talking to a few of my older friends who had been in the Navy. That was my choice. My recruiter gave me a choice of great Lakes Naval train center, near Chicago. I thought being from California that would be a fun trip. I should have checked what the weather was like in March. I took some tests. From those tests I had a high mechanical abilities. The Navy thought I would make a good air craft radial engine mechanic. Off to school in Memphis Tennessee in July.

I was on Naval air stations the reminder of the time. Spent time in the Philippines, Viet Nam, Japan, San Diego, And Moffett field near San Francisco where got out. They did give me a chance to get another stripe if I would reenlist. Next duty station was Adak Alaska. I hear it gets cold there also. No thanks. Stan
