Ken Thormod, EM2

Reported aboard the Charles Berry at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in Nov. 1962, and started my first WesPac. At age 19 it was very exciting to see other parts of the world. I made new friendships that I would continue after leaving the Berry a year later for EM "A" School in San Diego. After graduation I was assigned to the USS Kittyhawk (CVA-63) where I would finish out my enlistment, and complete two more WesPac's, including duty off the coast of Viet Nam during the war.
