[Politically Correct]

I was in Radar school on Treasure Island, San Francisco. Joined the Navy to avoid going to Viet Nam. Got shipped to VN a year later";^)

You can't tell me that God doesn't have a sense of humor!

Missed you, sort of, by two years. My Dad joined the Navy for similar reasons, and ended up Riverine, though on an LST on a big river. After his stint in Nam he was posted to Treasure Island in early ‘70. I was born very soon thereafter in Oak Knoll Naval Hospital—just missed being born in Japan.
