I loost my deferment in May '66 - walked five miles from the San Jose State campus to the Navy Recruiter's office in Santa Clara to sign up. The mailman delivered my Army draft notice the following morning. Although I had been in Army ROTC, the Navy decision was a no-brainer. My dad was a mustang LDO at NAS Moffet Field. In addition, I completed high school at a USAF school in Japan so I was familiar with the pluses and minuses of three branches. Four months later I was at boot camp in San Diego. If you peruse my profile you will see that I had exceptional options during my nearly eight years of Naval service.

Did I fail to mention that San Jose State was the number one ranked party school the two years I was there, unfortunately for me.
