Other Comments:
Served at NAS Alameda from Boot Camp in '61 - '62, then worked in the Aircraft Maint. Dept. until I passed my E-3 test. Then went to the Transient flight line and became a plane capt on a T-33.
In '64 was transfered to Whidbey Island, WA to VAH-123 for training on A-3-Ds. Sent to VAH-6 as a plane captain and line personel, then onto the '64 - '65 Cruise on the Forrestal.
Came home from cruise and '-6 was changing over to Vigis so they sent me to VAH-4 Det C. Time for the Kitty Hawk cruise came up and as I was so close to my discharge MacNamara and Nixon said "Boy Why Don't You Stay AN EXTRA THREE MONTHS?" Well that gave the Navy just enough time to let me go on that Cruise to SE Asia... Did my time and came home in March of '66 for my Out.
