A QUOTE F.T.C. - "August 1981 to August 1991. I asked for nothing when I was granted admission to the NAVY save to be fed and housed, plus got paid ! We watched an old film called DETROYER MEN in Orlando Boot Camp and I was hooked. For undesignated Seaman destroyers were looked at as a place to put personnel not as career paths. I started at the main deck as a Deck Ape and got my hands on the helm driving a DESTROYER in rough seas. Ended as a QM-1. So I did this and the very worse and very bad thing was I went to shore duty for 4 years which threw me off my game without a doubt. I WAS AND AT HEART WILL ALWAYS BE A DESTROYER MAN."
