 And was there a family history of service in your family? Yes, my father, he served in World War II from 37 to 46. All my uncles were all in the military. So I always knew I had dyslexia really bad. I always knew I was going to go in the military. I just didn't know when. Of course, when Vietnam came up, if you didn't have good grades, you were on your way to join the Army. But I always wanted to be a Navy frogman.
