As a youth I was always interested in swimming I took a Red Cross Scuba Diving Course and certified as a diver at the age of 12. When I graduated from high school the Vietnam War was in full swing. I had two very real desires, 1st to serve my country and 2nd to be a Navy Diver. With this in mind, along with knowing I was VERY close to being drafted I joined the Navy right out of school.
