Bio
After initial military training (2 years), I reported to my first submarine (USS Hammerhead SSN-663) as a DS3 (Data Systems Technician). Later in my career (about the time I made Chief), I transitioned to a submarine FT. I served on 4 submarines, and 3 shore duty tours. I finished my career as a Chief of the Boat (COB) on USS LaJolla (SSN-701).
