I enlisted in the Navy because I wanted to travel. You know the Navy has ships and goes to different countries? When I got out of boot camp, they sent me to a photographic squadron in FL (NAS Cecil Field). This squadron (VFP-62)would send detachments of about 35 enlisted and 4 officers with planes with each carrier homeported on the East Coast. I thought I would make a MED cruise on an aircraft carrier. Then they found out that I could type. They put me in the disbursing office, and I never saw a ship. All my buddies went on 6 month MED cruises, and all I did was wave goodbye to them. However, shore duty in FL is not all that bad.
My squadron took the low-level photos of the Cuban missle sites in 1962. Read about it in the book 'Blue Moon Over Cuba'. Order it on Amazon, it is a good read.

Question: If sailors belong on ships, and ships belong at sea, what the hell am I doing on this mountain???
