Due to unusual circumstances of my service, I am a member of the VFW but am not eligible for membership in the American Legion. Nevertheless, I serve with a Legion honor guard at veterans' funerals, although my cap and tie are different.

"Once you get Offutt, you can't get off it."

That's exactly why I left the Navy although I'd always intended to go for thirty � the Navy waived sea duty for rated enlisted personnel at the Naval Photographic Center (NPC), which was in Washington, DC, and a horrible place to spend any kind of career.

I put-in a chit, each week, for transfer to the Pacific-fleet combat-camera group and got each one back approved but marked "qualified replacement required." NPC was the Navy's only Class A photo lab, and all the Navy photographers who were qualified to do any of the special movie work that we did at NPC were already in our NPC motion-picture divisions (none in the fleet).

The only TAD that I got was a few days (once) at the Academy for graduation photos of the new ensigns with their folks. Yuk!

A shipmate � Photo Mate First Class � had taken his discharge after twelve years in the Navy and several years at NPC. He'd gone to the west coast to re-up for six in time to get his re-up bonus. Thought he'd go to the Pacific fleet � nope � right back to NPC. He did that next six at NPC and took his discharge after eighteen years. Didn't wait for his twenty.

I loved the Navy. Still do. But I wasn't about to do thirty years � or even twenty � at NPC.


"Good enough" isn't.
