A Legal Oficer at Sea plus Greek heritage stories

This book will bring laughter to anyone who has served any time in the military as a junior officer, particularly in the Navy. The personal stories of LTJG George aboard an aircraft carrier during peacetime are hilarious as he sails around the world as the legal officer aboard two different carriers in the mid 1950's. His experiences were recorded in his diaries kept during his voyages, and now, 50 years later, are recounted in short amusing chapters in clean and direct prose with a minimum of Navy jargon. The Author is a first generation Greek in America and (a bonus to this particular reader) has chosen to include in his book many warm and touching stories about his immigrant parents and their love for America.
