• While in high school in 1967, I joined the US Navy Reserves – home base, NAS Grosse Ile,
    Michigan, USA. 

    October 1968, I went on active duty. First on NAS Grosse Ile, Michigan.
    Then January 1969, I was transferred to the US Naval Base, Treasure Island
    San Francisco Bay, California.

    April 1, 1969, I was transferred to Naval Air Station (NAS) Agana Guam
    To October 1970. I was in barracks 16. Attached to the Operations division
    with Chief Alves and Chief Willie Williams. 

    I replaced AZ2 (Aviation Maintenance Adminstrationman)
    Mercer Cleland and Tony Wolf (AZ3)

    I spent my time working on Yellow Sheets in the logging engine hours and maintenance tracking in
    the maintenance department of aircraft Grumman HU16 and Helicopters UH34 and Constellation C131.
    However, I was a crew member on the Grumman HU16s. Thought they were able to land in the water. I never had the opportunity to do so.

    I became an aircrew member on the search and rescue airplane HU16 seaplane. En route from Taiwan, our plane got his by lightning during a storm, and the nose cone got burned out – that is where is radar is, and we had issues getting back to NAS Agana, Guam. (Fire Department saw we were ok for no fire damage.)

    The gray and yellow sea plane in the above picture was what we landed
    on the little flight strip in these videos in 1970
