After basic training, I was stationed on the main side of the great lakes training center for approximately one year, waiting on the ship. I was assigned to a ship on the west coast long beach California, the USS Toledo ca 133. It was 7-4-1957, that is when I got to the boiler room! When I walked into the boiler I was stunned, I thought to myself what have  I gotten myself into . So as time went on I began learning little by little ,and  after 3 to 4 months I  began to feel a little better, and after 6 months I began to love my job for the next 30 years.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144623145200,"sku":"9781477254509","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477254509_p0.jpg?v=1763613517","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477254509","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
