At that grade I made $3.73 an hour, thought it was a huge sum of money, more than my father ever made.
My first pay-checks were $43 & $42 every two weeks. Thankfully, was provided room & board (such as it was - electronics schools in San Diego, then San Francisco). USN was a great place to 'grow up'.

After 4 1/2 years in Lexington I was stationed at Naval Avionics Center, Indianapolis (RIF) via Priority Placement. Actually I did work for all the Branches and NASA.

It will 50 years in early February since my tour in the Army ended. They did reactivate me for a couple of weeks in the summer of ‘74, what a hassle.
