I joined the Navy and went to San Diego for boot camp in April of 69. Went to ADJ "A" then to VP-31 at NAS Moffett Field, Ca then VA-195 at NAS Lemoore, Ca; then NRS West Allis, Wi; then VA-85 @ NAS Oceana, Va; then NAMTRA Det 1038 @ NAS Lemoore, Ca; then VFA-136 @ NAS Lemoore, Ca/ NAS Cecil Field, Fl; then USS "Indy" CV-62. I retired in Dec of 89 while onboard the "Indy". Made 2 West Pac on the Kitty Hawk, made 2 Med's on the Forrestal, South America on the Indy on change of homeport. My two sons did a 10 day "Tiger Cruise" on the Indy. My worst duty was recruiting duty, my best was Instructor duty @ NAMTRADET 1038 with F/A 18's.
I joined the Navy in Friendly Fridley's Moon Plaza. Was in the catch program, so was sworn in the reserves in March and chose to go active in July, right after my oldest brothers wedding. My next to the oldest brother was drafted into the Army, so I made sure that I would not be drafted, so I joined the Navy. My flight to San Diego was my first time on a jet airplane and I loved every minute of it. We took off into a huge thunderstorm at the Minneapolis/St Paul international airport. Nothing but good memories now......
