Steve's Story
Life
After H.S. graduation, I knocked around for a while; taking a few classes at the U of A, etc. Crhistmast eve 1995 I received my "invitation" from the draft board. I opted to join the Navy.
On February 14th, 1966 I left for boot camp. My first duty station following boot camp was Beeville, Texas. I had no rating so I was assigned to a squadron to clean and prep the jets before and after take off. I managed to get a position in the dental clinic and, after about 8 months, I went to Dental Tech school in San Diego.
From that school, I was stationed on the Constellation and stayed there from 1967 until 1969. I transferred from the carrier to a small, incountry river assault base called Nha Be; about 16 miles south west of Saigon.
Arrived in Nha Be in 1969 and left in 1970. Worked in the dispensary for the first six months and then travelled around the country with a dentist as the "mobile dental team." I grew up during that time and learned a lot about myself.

owing this tour in February, 1970.
I met my wife two weeks later and was married a year and half later; July, 1971.
We know have two childred (son and daughter) and three grand daughters.
I've worked my whole career in healthcare. First 12 years in the hospital and then in medical sales and now (for the past 12 years) as the administrator for Interim HealthCare...a home health agency in Tucson.
I've always lived in Tucson (except for my four years in the Navy).
My wife and I build our own home (I mean we laid the block, framed the walls, wired the electrical, sheet rocked, textured and painted the walls our selves). One of our craziest ideas.
Anyway, that's how I ended up to where I am and who I am today
Military
I remember how hot, humid and smelly it was when I first arrived. I remember, at night, hearing the 105 howitzers firing over our base and scattered machine gun fire. I remember how much closer I was to my friends here than I ever was with any other friends I had or have ever known.
