Class of 1979
Navy, 4 Years

I was a HT-2, E5. EDC 1, Fire Fighter, NBC Defense. I had a great time. I was based in Chicago IL, Philadelphia PA, San Diego CA, Jacksonville FL, I went to many countries and did nine months in the Persian Gulf. I saw a lot of the world, north -south – east and west. Made some good friends. Did some cool stuff and wild stuff that no one would ever believe. Had adventures, had some fun and survived it all.
I figured out that most of the world is as screwed up as here. Its just that here you know who, what and where the screwup’s are or aren’t. And this is home
