I Joined the Navy in July of 1956 went to boot at Bainbridge Maryland and on to school at the Greatlakes to MM School on to Norfolk where I started my journey on the USS AMPHION-AR 13. We left port to never return,we spent 7 months in the Med on the way home we refuiled the A Destroyer the USS PURDY DD 734 witch my brother had served on during the KOREAN WAR. Went to the yards in New Port News. I went to AC&Refridgeration and off to Gitmo for 3 months to make water for the base while they made a distilling plant because Castro shut down the resivor so we would leave, were still there. We went to Jamaka for R&R for 2 weeks and back to Norfolk for supplies and back to the Med. We only stayed 6 months this time, we had to land Marines on Lebbanon for a pease keeping partey. I also had two more brothers in KOREA during the war one in the Army and one more in the Navy. I did 14 countries that is the end of my story. Theres two of us left now Im 70 and my brother is 78. All I can say is GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS THE USS AMPHION-AR 13 Yours Truly ED BRUENN (BRUNO)
