To: New Jersey Realist

I was a young seaman apprentice just out of boot camp.


I was an RM2 at the 5 cornered puzzle palace (OPNAV Comm @ Pentagon)and don’t remember any extenuating circumstances (there may have been, it just doesn’t register) now when JFK was taken out, I was at NSS (NAVCOMMSTA WASHDC) Cheltenham and we did go on lockdown for a few days - nobody on, nobody off but we were right below Andrews AFB so that may have had something to do with that.

Funny, of all the ‘real time’ events of my time in (56-64) the only one that stands out is JFK - guess didn’t really pay attention to many of them because that was ‘our job’?

Did you realize that people who got the AFEM for that era (`62) are eligible for VFW?
