Gregory's Story
Well I finally have a chance to put down my History, after High School.
Joined the Navy Left for Boot Camp September 1979, I got recruited by the Navy Presidential Honor Guard in D.C. I got there just in time for Reagan's first Inauguration, did many ceremonies at the Whitehouse, Capital, Pentagon, Arlington and many places in between.
In 1984 I went to Connecticut and was on the Submarine Tender USS Fulton I was there for two years before being recruited into the Submarine Force. I went to Submarine School and then to the Submarine USS Archerfish out of Groton. Saw Quite of few great places. I Found out that I made First Class (E-6) a stones throw from the North Pole.
In 88 the boat went into the yards in Bremerton Washington for overhaul Went through the Panama Canal (that was a trip) after about a year and a half I transferred to Seattle a sleepy little Base on Lake Washingto...Expand for more
n, went to School at UW and went to the clubs at the perfect time saw most of the Seattle (Grunge) bands just before their Major breakout albums.
Left there in 93 and headed to Sunny San Diego I was on another Sub USS Jefferson City and endured just shy of five years there saw a lot of Asian Countries (still prefer the MED) in 98 I went to school again to become a Counselor and after this shore tour went to my last Boat the
USS Bremerton out of S.D. and met them in the middle of their WESTPAC in Guam This was a week before 9/11. For the next three months it was Chaos.
Then in 2003 I finally decided to retire, I started to notice that the people
that worked for me were born well after my enlistment in 79. Decided to stay in California and have worked in Sales since. I Play golf to get frustrated and Bass Guitar to relax.
Well that's my story in 350 words or less. Greg Griggs
