I was in Navy only two years but it was always a part of my 40 years with CSX RR and my 59 year marriage. I have never been able to explain that to myself -why that two years was so important in my life . I think I finally grew up in that short two years and the experience helped to make me who I am today..

Best Moment Boot graduation
Worst Moment Jumping of ---foot HIGH tower into pool .I couldn't swim- get out best way you could. I made it.
Instructors I was raised by my Maternal Grandmother ,raised rather gently so the DI screaming at me and others was very much a time I remember.
Other Memories Midnight cruises in the swamps of Virginia. I thought the food was great,, A memory of a Galley officer making me eat all that I had taken on my tray before I could leave the mess hall, it all looked good.
