NEW. A Petty Officer and a Swabbie 2.0 is now available at Amazon.com. It includes 214 pages and over 100 mostly color illustrations.
Please share my big adventure in the service of Uncle Sam and Aunt Betsy.
The time is during the Vietnam War. The Tet Offensive has occurred just before I enlist, and things continue to heat up both in the Western Pacific and on the home front.
My story is not one of my own personal combat and harrowing experiences against shot and
shell. Mine is about life in the Navy circa 1968-72, on bases and onboard ship,
and about interactions between the Navy and a civilian population not too happy
we are involved in Vietnam. It is also about travels and experiences in exotic
places, as a young man not an officer and a gentleman but a petty officer and
a swabbie is introduced to a sometimes belligerent but always fascinating
world.
