Terry Farley
I would first like to point out that I had broken service so my service wasn't continuous. I enlisted in 1959, boot camp at RTC San Diego, I was stationed on USS Bennington (CVS-20)1960-1962, I was transferred to VS-33-1962-dischared 1963 as an AO2. Reenlisted 1968 stationed on USS Oriskany (CVA-34), made a West Pac cruise from April 1969 to Nov. 1969, we served off Vietnam and also patrolled off Korea when one of our planes was lost. I was discharged early as an AO2 due to reduction in force on Dec. 1, 1969. I reenlisted 1970 as an AE2 was discharged Nov. 11, 1975 end of service.
