On 14 Feb 1963 I joined Marine Corps and was directed to report to MCRD San Diago Boot Camp. After bootcamp I was assigned to "Sea School "at MCRD San Diego, Califoria. Directly after Sea School I was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 for a two year tour of duty. During one of The West-Pac Cruise's The Kitty Hawk was directed to the South China Sea (Vietnam). After Sea Duty, I received Orders to Twenty-Nine Palms, California for (OJT) Fire Directioin Control, for 55' Howitzer Artillary School. After FDC Arillary School The whole unit was transfered to Chu Lai, Vietnam. Discharge was accomplished at El Toro MCB, California.I'm a Member of The White Earth Chippewa Nation Reservation its located in Mohnomen, Minnesota. This fact was utilized in Vietnam because of my ability to track. I took many patrols way outside the primiter of the 55' Howlizers.
