Joined the Navy in 1965. Received my draft noticed while in boot camp. As an E-5 in a squadron on the East coast, I applied for a program to go to college, get an engineering degree, and get commissioned as an officer in the Navy. I was in a junior seminary as a high school freshman until half way through my senior year. I went to McBride for the last half of my senior high school year. When I put in for the college program, I and my record had to go before 3 officers for their recommendation. One of the officers thought that my grades in high school stunk. It was true that I struggled with Latin and French in the seminary.
