“JOIN THE NAVY, SEE THE WORLD!”  I did not know that  would be a reality for me during one of my six years in the U.S. Navy.   My shipmate and friend Peter Koury and I were Petty Officers among the enlisted crew of  the U.S.S. Annapolis AGMR-1 for 12 months from 1968 to 1969.   We met the ship in Yokosuka, Japan where it spent time in dry dock after having served with honor in the Vietnam War.   The Annapolis was being prepared for another round in the Gulf of Tonkin.   Most of us “Enlisted” were young,  high school-educated males, ignorant of the world beyond the USA.  That changed for many during the 12-month period.  Peter Koury and I combined our photos and Super 8mm footage to produce a 50-minute video, featuring  our recollections of the shared shipboard experience.  Our conversations were recorded via Zoom.   Although from the Boston area, Peter and his wife, Trish and family have been living in Brisbane, Australia for many decades.
