"C" school and became a Flag Writer. I was assigned to the Naval Material Command Staff in Crystal City working for Admiral Otth. I was advanced to CPO and was initiated at the Washington Navy Yard.

After serving nearly 21 years, I finished out my career as Admin Chief on the Staff of the Commander, Naval Base Philadelphia.
