Last Dog Watch e-bog

This memoir/autobiography celebrates 50 years of Junior Recruit service to our navy. Established in 1960 and decommissioned in 1984 the story follows the life of a 15 year old inducted into the service for twelve years in 1968 and sent to Vietnam on the Vung Tau Ferry (H.M.A.S. Sydney) the following year, then continues his somewhat capricious journey with a hint of mysticism along the way. The Commemorative year of 2010 recognised the contributions made by young teens, many still children, to their country, and is dedicated to the many who didn't survive physically and/or mentally serving at a time when the world was on its own path to perdition.
