Lived and worked many years at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan - single and married - ashore and afloat - enlisted and a commissioned officer. My first time in "Yoko"? November 1965 as a Navy Brat when my family accompanied my father, a Naval Surgeon, after he received orders to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Yokosuka. I spent 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades there. Now ask me about my adventures at the U.S. Navy Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during pre-school, nursery school, and kindergarten as a Navy Brat and how my family was one of many families evacuated to the US for a couple of months (back home by Christmas) during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

Personal depth record (shhhh, don't tell anybody) 157' at the Blue Hole in Guam. Dived in the GOO (Gulf of Oman) while on liberty and the carrier was in Jebel Ali, UAE - just south of Dubai. Dubai - what a town! Surfed while it was snowing at Chigasaki Beach on Sagami Bay on the other side of Miura Peninsula from Yokosuka. Surfed perfect 4 to 6 foot typhoon surf over a rock spine (very narrow and long ) just 15 minutes from my off base home in Yokosuka (and, shhhhhh, I played hooky from work to do it!!!) Great Navy jobs. Great Navy people. Great Navy career. Am now a "Fully Retired Navy Mustang", a "Fully Retired Man of Leisure", a...(read more) |
