USS Andrew Jackson

Upon returning from North Pole in November 1962, Fred was reassigned to USS Andrew Jackson (SSBN619) at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, CA. He was a blue crew leading yeoman responsible for all administrative and personnel matters for 135 officers and enlisted personnel. Trained crewmembers whose assigned to diving operation duties. Acted as career counselor for all enlisted members.


During this tour, Fred has managed to take time out for relaxation and recreation ... as I have known him, he loves to play golf whenever he gets a chance. Guess what??? He made a hole-in-one at the Mare Island golf course. I have kept the newspaper clipping to prove it.
