I went to recruit training (boot camp) at Recruit Training
Command, San Diego. I was in company 207 and our Company
Commander was Signalman Chief Majors. After graduation I was
assigned to US Naval Hospital Corps School at Balboa Naval
Hospital in San Diego. I was in Company 15-72, Company
Commander was Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Barbarin. After
graduation, I was then sent to Camp Pendleton, USMC Base for 6
weeks of field medical training. I was then classified an FMF
Corpsman. My final assignment on active duty was to the USS
Frederick, LST 1184. We were assigned to an amphibious
squadron in the "Gator Navy". After I finished my time on the

Naval Reserve Command, Naval Reserve Surface Division 12-14 in
Sacramento, CA. After two yesrs I was reassigned to a USMCR
