Charles Rice Bourland, Jr. ’51
Lieutenant (JG), United States Navy
While I never faced enemy fire, I served in the US Navy for two years, ending as a LTjg as communications officer on the Stone County, LST 1141. We were stationed in San Diego Bay. My midshipman cruise was to Montreal down the St. Lawrence River and Guantanamo Bay Naval Station and Havana, several years before Castro. I found the service experience hugely useful in gaining responsibility at an early age.
