Richard O. Broughton, CTRCS USN Retired, 1956-1976


I joined the Naval Reserve in High School.  I obligated for six years as 
required at the time.After graduation I went to Barber College.  Out of 
Barber College, still atteending  reserve meetings, i started my barber 
career.  I had intended to  do a two year apprenticeship then do my two 
years active duty.  Three months into the apprenticeship the Reserves said I 
was going to active duty.  I went to Denver for the physical and at the end 
of the line was a Regular Navy recuriter.  I tried to talk him into a 
shipserviceman's rate as a barber,  but no go.  He promised an electronics 
school (EFSA) if i obligated for four years.  Okay! off to boot camp I went. 
I boot camp at San Diego I met T. J. Adams from Little Rock, AR..  He wanted 
someone to become a CT with him.  So at classification I ask for CT. 
Needless to say T J. and I were selected and sent to IB for CTR school.  I 
havent't seen or heard of Adams since.
