So sorry to here of your loss. I spent a few weeks in that same hospital, recovering from wounds in Nam. Very good care I received. I for one am thankful of the wippins I received in my training years. I never thought he was so smart till I left home. To this day I thank him for it. As for Navy Chiefs they were our fathers then. I have many great memories of the chiefs I worked for. They are the back bone of the military.
