A Squid's Story My First Four Years in the United States Navy John Rudolph

Join me on my first tour of duty in the Navy - what went on in Boot camp, the schools I attended, what life was really like on board an aircraft carrier that was better known for fires than anything else! Come with me - a fleet Radioman - on a haze gray and underway misadventure on a guided missile destroyer that had trouble shooting its own missiles (let alone torpedoes) and all of the unimaginable things that happened to me. . .the people I met and what I witnessed in between. Telling things as they happened, it's a hilarious, serious, yet very straightforward look at life in the U. S. Navy during the Cold War period (1980-1984). So set the sea and anchor detail, it's time to hit the high seas!
