Joining the Navy at 17yrs Old U.S.A.

  The proudest day of my life was 1 July 1958. I was barely 17 years old when I arrived at the Great Lakes Naval Training center for basic training. The Navy changed my life forever by giving me a sense of belonging and the pride of accomplishment. I will be grateful, and proud of my service, for as long as I live!
