"Was back and forth between Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego and Camp Pendleton for 7 months, Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, Arizona, for 6 months, then stationed at Bremerton Naval Shipyard (nuclear at the time) across Puget Sound from Seattle for a little less than 2 years. At Bremerton I was part of a 4 man military police unit whose job it was to pick up awol Marines in the western half of the United States and deliver them to the Provost Marshal at MCRD, San Diego. Flew a lot. Saw a lot. Hectic."
