Mike Ward
Class of 1983
Navy, 4 Years
Served three and a half years onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. My primary duty was operating the equipment that caught the aircraft as they landed. My first major cruise was in 1984. We went to Hawaii, Hong Kong, Phillipines and Singapore. We deployed again in 1986. This time we went to Hawaii, Phillipines,Pakistan,France, Italy, and Australia. I was lucky enough to serve during peace time, however I was in the Phillipines during the Aquino election and the exile of Marcos. We also participated in the Libya crisis.
