"Deployed on the America in 1972 to 1973 with Squadron VA 86, A-7C planes to Gulf of Tonkin. Was an AQ in the Integrated Weapons Team working on the aircraft and weapons guidance systems."
"I don't know where we were when we crossed. I was in VA-86 aboard the USS America in 1972 headed for the Gulf of Tonkin. I was mess cooking at the time. Went to the Weapons Team after I finished my time in the Galley.
