IIRC...and I may not as it is very late, I thought he was only in the Reserves 2 years.
I'd have to check the dates but I'm fairly certain it was quite a bit longer than 2 years from his active duty to his final separation, something closer to 6 years. I believe that Gridley did her WestPac cruise before I did mine in 1972 and his final separation wasn't until 1978.
