I had a mentor before going in who gave me good advice throughout my career. Although we never served together, I know his insights helped me more than he probably ever knew.

While serving on the James Monroe another MSCM(SS) came aboard and could not fathom why I had not been advanced to E-7 as yet. He asked what he could to help me. I related not receiving any navy achievement medals as yet or walk on water evals. He submitted evals he felt I deserved and this writer was advanced to E-7, first increment. I will never forget MSCM(SS) Orvis Baker. If anyone knows how to contact his family please advise me. Unfortunately, he has passed away.

Senior Master Sergeant Ted Smith. He helped me without asking any questions.

While on an assignment in South Korea, a beautiful young girl rocked my world in every way you could imagine. Semper Fi

In 1964 as a new Lt was assigned as Supply Officer for the Army's largest field medical unit without any special training. The TOE called for a Major or Captain. MSGT Robert Medvedeff became a mentor and friend. In the Spring of 1965 we became part of a team involved with the deployment of medical units to Viet Nam. In Sept 1966 I was awarded the first of two commendation. God bless the NCO's!
