DD931 Cool Picture. I remember getting a ride with a class mate from Great Lakes(ET school), to Millawalkee, WI in a Model A during the winter just for the cost of gas.
BTW congratulations on being accepted to the Naval Academy. Bet you were a pretty good officer being enlisted first.
I thank the Navy for pointing me in the correct direction, as did not know what an ET(Electronics Technician) was before going to A school. Got out went to work for IBM and got my degree in Electrical Engineering during the evening. Worked for IBM for 42 and 1/2 years. The Navy was a great experience and still miss the ocean especially the great sleep while aboard ship. Was leading ET on USS Okinawa LPH3 for a couple of years.
