Michael D. Kinslow"
Class of 1975
Navy, 7 Years
I went to Boot Camp in San Diego, CA. Then went to Lakehurst, NJ for Aviation training as an ABH/LSE to handle aircraft, on an airbase or an LPH (Landing Platform of Helicopters) or a carrier. I've been on 4 ships, on different "tours of duty". I also had a sub-job as part of my MOS as an aircraft crash & salvage group. I've seen about a 1/4 of this world. I was involved in 1983 Beirut, Lebanon event, on board ship, a 1/2 mile off their shore. Then in 1985, I had an "on-call war game" accident. I left as an E-5 (frocked, ie.). Details, won't explain. But now retired from the Military, permanently.
