What drives a 17-year-old to falsify his age and enlist in the Navy during one of history's most tumultuous periods? Meet James Crider, a Navy veteran whose extraordinary journey began in 1945. From his rebellious enlistment decision to the swift transition from a dairy job to basic training in Maryland, James' story is a rich tapestry of youthful courage and sacrifice. Hear about his life before the Navy, the shock of his parents when they found out he enlisted, and the rapid changes that set the stage for his military career.
Travel through the stark contrasts of James' naval service. Experience the tension and anticipation aboard the USS Juno during the Korean War, where strategic bombardments and the constant threat of attack earned his ship the nickname "Galloping Ghosts." Amidst the intensity, James shares lighter moments, like 'shooting craps' aboard the ship and clever tactics to outsmart commanders. You'll also hear about the heartwarming celebration of the Korean War's end and his serendipitous encounter with his future spouse in Key West.
Finally, accompany James as he navigates his return to civilian life, transitioning from military service to finding long-term employment. His career spanned three major wars—World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam—offering a unique perspective on the bonds formed during service and the connections that resurface years later. This heartfelt conversation, set up by our new friend Conrad Ogletree, captures the honor and gratitude felt by both the host and the veteran, making it an unforgettable episode. Don’t miss this touching tribute to a life of service and the remarkable stories that come with it.
