Arrived at Great Lakes on enlistment date. Placed in Co. 244, made up of similarly signed recruits. Subsequent testing revealed that eyesight would make me ineligible for sub school. Could still remain in nuclear surface fleet but demanded to be withdrawn from program. (No subs, no six years!!) Reassigned to Co. 271, commanded by PMC Oliver Wilkinson, 5'2" and hated anyone taller than him! (Same height as most admirals.)
