I was desperate to get off my newly commissioned DLG with all the spit & polish. The Navy was looking for Quartermasters to man PBR's in Vietnam. I volunteered but later rescinded after I heard their crews were sitting ducks. I guess I was much safer on the destroyer with two US senators' sons, Hollings and Pell.
Gee, maybe your husband served with the super"HERO" John Kerry.
