27 1/2 years combined active duty and reserve USNR 1969-1997 (13 1/2 years of which on active duty), 12 years of AD at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital, Oakland, California, and 12 years reserve time at the same hospital. Base closed in 1996, US Naval Hospital was demolished April 2011. Final rank CAPT MC USNR.
Spent 2 TAD tours on naval ships, 1 week aboard USS Oriskany spring 1972, and 1 week on USS Tarawa's shakedown cruise 1976. Not much call for a Diagnostic Radiologist on a naval vessel. The best times of my life were spent during my Navy career there at Oak Knoll.
