MY EAD

[Salty]

Fifty-six years ago today , on 29 July 1970I swore this Oath:


This oath has never expired.
I arrived at Ft Dix, NJ - with B-6-3 for Basic
In Oct I PCS to Ft Lee for QM training
In Dec, I arrived at Atlanta Army Depot for Depot Ops OJT.

In April I signed into Oakland Army Base for shipment to Vietnam.
However, the Lord had other plans, and I ended up in Zweibruecken, Germany.
While there I attended and joined Zweib Bap, A SBC church - and Saw the Lord
do might things at our church.

So when did you first enlist to go on Active Duty?

 

[Armchair Apologist]

I raised my right hand and joined the Navy Delayed Entry program in January 1982. I was in my Senior year of High School and about six month old in the Lord at the time. Reported for Boot Camp in Orlando, FL after graduation on July 27, 1982 then reported to NATTC Millington TN for training as an Aviation Electronics Technician and it was during this time I became affilliated with the Independent Baptists, got baptized, and got my Scofield Reference Bible and learned about Peter Ruckman. From there, I spent most of my time out in San Diego in Helicopter Squadrons (LAMPS) at NAS North Island and after nearly eight years, never got used to the swaying of the Coronado Bay Bridge especially when riding my motorcycle!

Proudly served during the Reagan Admininstration (greatest Commander-in-Chief ever!).

Aviation Electronics Technician First Class, USN, 1982-1991
