"John L. Hedinger"
Thus ended my career on board the "Big I".
The PTrating changed to IS (Intelligence
Specialist),
I moved on to the Fleet Intelligence Center, and then the "Gator"
Navy, becoming a Plank Owner on the USS Saipan LHA-2.
Even spent a tour of duty teaching Marines intelligence,
(Hey, somebody's got to do it!).
I
retired as a CPO in 1983.
