#335 Today's Boondoggle-Getting Recreational with Chief Pat Patterson

In this episode Bill talks with USN Retired Chief Pat Patterson. We talk about growing up with Dads whose "motivation" tactics prepared us for Navy Bootcamp, the options for Recruit Training Command back in the day, failing out of Fire Control School, excelling in Operations Specialist training, having a good time in Amsterdam, and making the most of our deployment in Kuwait. We also talk about when in Rome, getting into recreational therapy, how far the VA has come along for helping our veterans, our Navy camaraderie and the fun with reunions, why Balad, Iraq sucked, fishing kayaking and enjoying retirement, plus so much more.
