Went on a westpac cruise 1963. I was a radioman Got to see a lot of places I would never had seen Was raised on a big lake in Mississippi. Lake Washington. Joined the navy in 1960. Got out in 64. Earned a good conduct medal. And an expert rifleman medal. In 1962 we were in dry dock for a summer. One of my officers decided to start a rifle team. We shot in the 11th naval district and the pacific fleet match. I earned my expert medal in the pacific fleet match. Didn’t expect a medal. It was one way to pass the time but I have always loved shooting Used to shoot snake in lake Washington. They got to where they wouldn’t cross in front of our boat landing. Smart snakes. Thanks for my rattling off.
