Commissary CS-2
Was ordered from Bootcamp to USS Towhee AGS-28 a Geodetic survey ship. We charted/mapped the ocean floor. My designated job code was originally for a draftsman (DM). I came aboard as a seaman. I on my Bio I stated cooking as a hobby. Our ship had one of the Comissayman transferred and we one Comissayman short. The Executive Officer reading my Bio discovered my fondness for cooking and he decided/ordered me to fill that vacant position as a Comissayman.
We spent three extended tours aboard the USS Towhee surveying Vietnams coastal shoreline. We were as close as 100 yards from shore plotting it's depths and topography.
