enlisted on Oct. 4, 1944---NOT 1945. Sorry
I loved ever single day of my short Navy career.
I still have a picture of my Boot Camp Graduation and my Flight Crew 319 if anyone would like to see it.(Yawn Yawn) ! I am still trying to find the names of all the Boot Camp Graduation guys! Chuck Nienhaus ARM 3/C
I had a friend named Drake J Haskins who I met the AFEES staion in Philly (we were the only ones who passed the exam in our group!!!)
He went on to boot in Orlando while I went to the Lakes--and we were re-aquainted at Memphis as he attended AT school
He was assigned to San Diego while I went to NAS Moffett Field Calif and stayed in touch thru that period
As usaul--we fell out of touch after my discharge in 79--until my father passed in 98
Just checking on a shipmate of mine and may God bless all military past present and future--fair winds-following seas.....
