Though a misfit in the military, working with the various crews encountered, especially the crew of this ship, turned out to be a wonderful experience. We had lots of fun working together and building a great relationship with each other as we developed into a top ship in the fleet. Visiting many foreign ports was an opportunity to meet some wonderful people. As it always turned out, my first experience in each assignment was with a great crew and leader and my final assignment was with a leader who was of doubtful nature and character.
