Was working at Offset Printing after high school. Then joined the US Navy on Oct. 3, 1973 as a Radioman. Went to Great Lakes for Bootcamp, then to Bainbridge, MD for Radioman A School then Code School. Then sent to Long Beach, CA to meet my Ship. After 4 years I received an Honoable Discharge on 9/14/1977. I served aboard the USS Long Beach CGN-9. It was a Guided Nuclear Cruiser. I made 2 WestPacs overseas to Hawaii, Guam, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Seychelles Island off the coast of Africa.
