Jack's Story

Life After graduation in 1964 I went into the Navy. After I finished my first enlistment, I settled in Tom's River New Jersey, where I met my wife. After we bought a home and had two children, I went back in the Navy and stayed until I retired in 1990. After I "retired", I immediately went to work as a Copier Tech until 2002. I am now retired but I'm bored and thinking about finding a new career. Update: November 2005. I'm still retired but now I work part time as a range master at the local rifle range. I bought a motorcycle (my wife hates it) and joined a local club. We ride every Sunday and sponsor a lot of charity events. My updated "NOW" photo is a picture of me on my new bike. I've customised it since the photo was taken, and it's a lot more fun to ride. School I lived in a "one parent" home with my mother. We moved around a lot. I spent my high school years at La Mirada High, Downey Senior High, Lakewood High and back to Downey for my last year of high school. I joined the Navy right after High School and stayed in for 24 years. After having heart surgery and leaving the Navy I went to work as a copier technician for 12 years. Now I am retired, but I still think of...Expand for more
myself as a Navy Chief. Military I didn't realize it at the time, but the Navy was the best time in my life. I had a little heart problem that required me to retire from the Navy after 24 years but if I had been able to, I would have stayed in for 30. The only regret that I have is that I didn't go to college first and go in as an officer. The difference between an officer and enlisted in pay and priveleges is astounding. Otherwise, I can't think of a more rewarding and satisfying career. My military duty: April 1965-went to Great Lakes Il. for boot camp. July 1965 - NATTC Memphis Tn. for ATA school. June 1966 - NAS Norfolk VA. NAS Transit Line and OMD AT shop Sept 1968 - NATSF Lakehurst NJ.

Nov 1986 - Had Quadruple bypass surgery and transferred to VAK 208 as Command CPO. Dec 1989 - Retired on Dec 31. The same day that VAK208 was decomissioned.
