US Navy, 1969-70. Apprentice radioman on a WW2 retread destroyer, 3 months off the coast of Vietnam doing escort duty for carriers, lifeguard duty off the Hanoi coast, and fire support for the marines. Loved life at sea, hated the Navy in general. Part of me wishes I'd never gone in, and part of me wishes I'd never got out.
Lots of entertaining memories, and I still remember a lot of them.
