Last Address Manila, P.I. is listed as his residence when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy on July 10, 1929.
Best Moment Qualified Swimmer 3rd class. On his way home.
Worst Moment Unknown
Chain of Command Pedro's rate was Mess Attendant 1st Class or Matt1c. Whether that meant he was a 1st Class P.O., I have no idea. To me 1st class is 1st class, so that is why I posted his insignia as I have. They did things different back then.
Other Memories From what I can determine from Pedro's record, his 2nd enlistment was nearing the end. Having not reenlisted while aboard his previous command, he was transferred to U.S.S. Oglala CM-4 possibly from either U.S.S. New Mexico BB-40 or U.S.S. Chaumont AP-5. Either way, Pedro went back to the Philippines, and reported to the receiving station there. His record shows he sailed via U.S.S. Chaumont AP-5 & U.S.S. Oglala CM-4. The journey took about a month, as the record shows, his last entry on U.S.S. New Mexico as May 18th, and reporting to Cavite as June 19th, 1937. A special notation shows he qualified as a swimmer 3rd class while aboard the 'Oglala'. Pedro reenlisted while at Cavite.
