Perry Summers:  

Life After graduation I crammed one semester of DelMar into two. First, I went to work for an oilfiled service company, WEBCO, that went under. I went to work for Citizen's State Bank on Leopard in their Computer department in 1972 and stayed there until late 1973. I married my high-school girlfriend Debbie Loveday in June of 73 (still married as of 2012). We moved to Houston in late 73 and I worked at Texas Instruments in Stafford until early 74. Our first child, Paul, was born in October of that year. We moved back to Corpus Christi where I worked for Bradley's Motor and Armature Works on Port Street for about 4 years. Or second son, Daniel, was born in Feb of 77. After Bradley's, I got in on the ground floor of a chemical company, Bay Chemical and Supply, and worked there until the oil recession in 82. In August of 82 I answered an add that read "Learn to operate a radio, must be willing to travel." The voice on the phone said "US Navy recruiting". I enlisted in the Navy and shipped off to Orlando, Florida in October of 82. After 28 plus years of continuous active duty I retired in February of 2011 as a Limited Duty Officer (aka Mustang) specializing in Surface Operations. Since joining the Navy, Deb and I have been stationed in: Naval Recruit Training Center, Orlando, Florida as a recruit in Basic Training; Naval Technical Training Center, Pensacola, Florida (Electronic Warfare Training) as a student under instruction; USS Samuel Eliot Morrison (FFG 13),Mayport, Florida as an Electronics Warfare Technician' Joint Electronic Warfare Center, San Antionio, Texas, as a Meaconing, Intrusion, Jamming, Interference analyst; USS Leahy (CG 16), San Diego, California as the Leading Electronics Warfare Technician; USS Peleliu (LHA 5), San Diego, California as the Leading Electronics Warfare Technici...Expand for more
