Where were you or your family stationed?
In July of 1961 I went to Boot at RTC San Diego, CA. After Boot I was stationed at NAS North Island SD for two years, then flew to subic Bay in Manilla where I picked up the USS Perkins DD-877 to meet up with the USS Hancock CVA-19 in November of 1963 and spent almost a year . I was assigned to the V6 Division Air Support. I was an Airman not a Seaman. I got out of the Navy October 21 1963 before my ship went to Vietnam.
Some of the best years of my life.
