His service spanned throughout much of his career and he lost full seasons in the Majors because of it. Of course, that was a different time.

He separated in 1953 with the rank of Captain. <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/remembering-ted-williams-marine-fighter-pilot">https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/remembering-ted-williams-marine-fighter-pilot</a>Response by SSgt Charles Edwards made Jul 4 at 2015 9:56 AM2015-07-04T09:56:47-04:002015-07-04T09:56:47-04:00CPO Kenneth Wilkinson791988<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I served with Jay North on the USS DIXIE AD-14.
