"boot camp";Bainbridge,Md;1956


"memorable experience"; biggest change in my life; my own mother did NOT recognize me at "graduation" just 13 weeks later; "picnicked" at Polly & Ed Hansen in NY.....and on to boot camp leave in Erie,Penna and then to US NAVAL AIR STATION IN JACKSONVILLE,FLORIDA; the "fun" BEGINS; boot camp training was "intense" and "complete" in all aspects of naval life,etc; training was "identical" to that of OCS training(complete with "underwater" capsule shoot); just like in "Officer And A Gentleman" with Richard Gere........interesting.....
