'Twas Forty Years Ago...

It was recently brought to my attention that I passed a major milestone in my life. Had I thought about it, I would have re-posted these letters with the same date with which they were written. But I didn't remember and so you're just getting a list (nothing wrong with lists is there?).

On November 14th 1969 I enlisted in the U.S. Navy. For the next 10 weeks I went through basic training at RTC(W) Bainbridge, graduating on January 23, 1970. These are the letters that I wrote home during that time.

• November 16th and 19th, 1969
• Dear Mrs. Wiseman (Letter from Uncle Sam to my Mother)
• November 23, 1969
• November 26, 1969
• November 28, 1969
• November 30, 1969
• December 5, 1969
• December 6, 1969
• December 12, 1969
• December 14, 1969
• December 20, 1969
• December 26, 1969
• December 28, 1969
• January 10, 1970
• January 18, 1970
• January 23, 1970 RTC(W) Company 70-14 Graduation

Another milestone has recently passed by... on November 17th I filed for Social Security! And Time Marches On...
