David's Story
1974 went in Army. 3 months standby to go to Vietnam. Got out late "75." Took a civilian job in Seattle and late "76" went into the Navy. My first duty assignment was Diego Garcia, 400 nautical miles south of the equator.

I met my second wife online. She was a non-traditional student at the University of Wyoming.
We were divorced after 15 years together and so I moved back to Texas. But while in Wyoming, I had a heart attack that required all 4 major arteries and 5 secondary arteries be bypassed. This forced me into retirement. I hate not having much to do. So, this concludes my story.
