Book Description
The members of the armed services of America are some of the finest people in the world. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, this wasn't always the prevailing expression. As an eighteen-year-old teen, I was asked to fight a war on the other side of the world or I could flee. I chose to fight. I was marching and being gassed in protest of the Vietnam War one weekend and siting in a navy boot camp three days later, where I learned how to march correctly and was gassed again. From day 1, I saw and felt the surrealness of the situation. I couldn't help but keep a journal. Through boot camp, I kept most of the journal with the yeoman. He kept them in a file in the COs office. This is my story, and I'm sticking with it. I hope you enjoy the adventure.

Book Description
In 1942, the navy sought a location for an advance base on the West Coast to ship construction materiel, equipment, and men into World War II's Pacific theater. Port Hueneme's deepwater harbor, rail system, and rural setting made it the ideal site from which to send 20 million measurement tons of war materiel and a quarter of a million men onto island specks that later became headlines: Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Philippines. Seabees later deployed from Port Hueneme to serve in the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and Iraqi conflicts, as well as in peacetime, for more than 60 years. Charged with building air bases, ports, combat camps, hospitals, and other support facilities as part of military and humanitarian efforts around the world, the Seabees remain at home in Port Hueneme.

Book Description
Join me on my first tour of duty in the Navy - what went on in Boot camp, the schools I attended, what life was really like on board an aircraft carrier that was better known for fires than anything else! Come with me on a haze gray and underway misadventure on a guided missile destroyer that had trouble shooting its own missiles (let alone torpedoes) and all of the unimaginable things that happened to me...the people I met and what I witnessed in between. Telling things as they happened, it's a hilarious, serious, yet very straightforward look at life as a Radioman in the U.S. Navy during the Cold War period (1980-1984). So set the sea and anchor detail, it's time to hit the high seas!
