I was in the Navy from Jan 69 thru Oct 77. USS Harry E. Hubbard, DD-748, (just for 6 weeks), ComCruDesPac staff, DPSCPAC staff, then USS Sperry, AS-12, and, last, ComNavSurfPac staff. All were in San Diego except the Hubbard, which was in Long Beach. Spent 6 weeks in Long Beach, 10 days in Seattle, 3 weeks in Bremerton, 3 months in Pearl, 10 days in San Antonio (Navy sent me to an Air Force school). The rest was in San Diego. Total time was 8 years, 8 months, 28 days, and my total at-sea time was 27 days with no more than 5 days in any one "cruise".
