Sorry this response is so late, but I just saw your question about Arkansas. I was born and now live in Paris, a small town about 40 miles east of Ft. Smith. Lived for a while in Helena, but I've been back here for years. I have a half-brother who lives in Arkadelphia; he taught English at Henderson State for many years.

San Diego is a nice place to visit but it's not for me to live there.

I went to Officer's Candidate School in Pensacola, FL and then to Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, GA.

I am glad that I served but I knew when I joined that I was only going to do a sea tour and then separate after my shore tour.

Where did you train? Do you miss it at all? I forgot to ask in the first message.

2 yrs USS Lockwood in Yokosuka Japan
1.5 years USS Tarawa in San Diego
2 yrs Navspecwarfare Group One Coronado
1 yr USS WM H. Standley San Diego
1.5 yrs DAPMA San Diego

It would be too scary if we did....when did you serve and where were you stationed?

I was in from 83 to 91 - a storekeeper!
