Other Comments:

After transferring to the Fleet Reserves in Nov 1980, I worked at National Steel in San Diego as a Marine Pipefitter for about 22 months. Moved to Olongapo City, Philippines in Aug 1982. 

I was employed by Military Sealift Command 1987 and 1988.

1987-1988 was assigned to the USNS Zeus T-ARC-7,Wiper and Deck Engineer,Eng Dept.
1888-1988 USNS Navasota T-AO-106, Wiper,Eng Dept.

I got tired of running the streets and alleys in Olongapo and, etc. 
 Moved back to Mississippi in Aug 1988. Was a self-employed carpenter/plumber until March 2007. Had to stop work due to health reasons, anyway I was 66 years old. I still have my woodworking shop.I have a few projects on the work bench.
