1962-1967 and I'm sorry I got out a although I would be dead. My duty section lost a plane with 6 of my buddies on it 2 weeks after I got out. It would have been my turn on it. Spent 15 months on a 165' cutter out of San Juan and 3 years flying out of St Pete. Best time I ever had. If you can get into aviation..........GO FOR IT !!!!!! I got tired of rocking in the old cutters and decided to fly. Still wish I would have gone back in. Semper Paratus.
