GMM1(SW) US Navy retired October 1st. 1996
Duty stations RTC Great Lakes, NTC Great Lakes, USS Lawrence DDG4, USS Stump DD978, NRD St. Louis, USS John Rodgers DD983,and my last tour was back at Great Lakes on instructor duty. I was also in the ship yards in Philly, Brooklyn, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Charleston. I wish I had stayed for 30!
And as an EXTREMELY proud grandpa I will add that
My oldest granddaughter joined the Navy yesterday and my oldest grandson (her kid brother) is in the USMC serving in Afghanistan.
My most sincere thanks to you all!
