Years Served: 1 year on board as reserve in Brooklyn 1970. Retired as BMC…This was my first time away since arriving straight from boot camp. Got sent to Deck 1st div. and it work me up quick, but it did help me for future transfers to 8 other DD’s; 4 carriers and 3 YTM’s plus other locations and active recalls. 27+ years went fast and would do it again!!! :)
