Over the next three years Gardner served as gunner on four different Swift boats, each with a different commanding officer. His least favorite was his last: Lieutenant (j.g.) John F. Kerry of PCF-44. Kerry was on the swift boats for what, FOUR months? You call it.

It would be interesting to know what Gardner's other commanding officers thought of him.

Odd that in four months such a huge per centage of the "men" came away with exact same stories. Also find it odd that they just happen to remember that Gardner was the odd man out. In the AF at another time, we always knew who the "chicken...." were.
