I joined the US Navy in 1964.  After training I served at Naval Air Station, Litchfield Park, just outside of Phoenix, Arizona.  After a year there I was sent to the USS Arlington AGMR2 for pre commissioning of the ship.  The time went on so I served on Yard Tug boat's in Norfolk, Virginia, then I served for a couple of month's on the USS Denebola AF56 (Refrigeration ship)  When I returned to Norfolk I decided to put in for Vietnam and was sent to DaNang, Vietnam.  After 22 month's I was discharged and then joined the US Army, Special Forces.  I went through Basic infantry, then advanced infantry (graduated as the honor student) then I went to jump school in Ft. Benning, Georgia. Then up to Ft. Bragg for Special Forces training.  I asked to go back to Vietnam and did.  I was sent to A-502, 5th SFGp Abn, out of NaTrang, Vietnam.  I was the NCOIC of a CIDG camp 554, Sui Dou.  Then after after 6 month's or so, the camp closed down so I went to SOA-CCC (MACV-SOG)  I was 1-1 of Rt. Delaware for one mission then became the 1-0 (team leader)  I ran 7 mission's (4 linear recon and 3 brightlight missions) in Laos or Cambodia.  After my 7th mission I was asked if I wanted to go to SOA-B53 and teach Special Op's mission's.  I said ok and went to B-53 for an additional 6 month's.  Then I was discharged and came home and joined the 12th SFGpAbn (reserves).  In 1978 I did a cross service transfer to the 129th ARRS, USAF Pararescue. I left the Army as an E-8 and dropped to E-6 in the USAF.  After completing  Pararescue school, I was a PJ.  I was a rescue, parachuting paramedic for the first 3 launches of the Space Shuttle (STS-1, 2 and 3) also for the Mt. St. Helens Volcano eruption.  President Carter and Senator Ted Kennedy.  Also did 2 parachute rescue mission's for ship's at sea and a few hoist mission's.  After an injury parachuting, I was medically discharged from the service.  I had 20 year in service so I got out and went to college to become a Doctor (Radiologist)  I did this for 20 years and now I hunt, sell and collect meteorite's.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To help support the show and for all bonus content including:https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse-AD FREE AUDIO-AD FREE VIDEO-Access to ALL bonus segments with our guestsSubscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseOr make a one time donation at: ⬇️https://ko-fi.com/theteamhouseTeam House merch: ⬇️https://teespring.com/stores/my-store-10474963Social Media: ⬇️The Team House Instagram:https://instagram.com/the.team.house?utm_medium=copy_linkThe Team House Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheTeamHousePodJack’s Instagram:https://instagram.com/jackmcmurph?utm_medium=copy_linkJack’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jackmurphyrgr?s=21Dave’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/dave_parke?s=21Team House Discord: ⬇️https://discord.gg/wHFHYM6SubReddit: ⬇️https://www.reddit.com/r/TheTeamHouse/Jack Murphy's memoir "Murphy's Law" can be found here:⬇️ https://www.amazon.com/Murphys-Law-Journey-Investigative-Journalist/dp/1501191241The Team Room Reading Room (Amazon Affiliate links):⬇️ https://jackmurphywrites.com/the-team-room-reading-room/Intro music by https://www.youtube.com/user/RemixSampleWant to sponsor the show?Email: ⬇️theteamhousepodcast@gmail.com#macvsog #specialforces #vietnamBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
