How Times Change ............

Watching the news on TV, they mentioned the different ways some Virus could be contracted, kissing, sex ............ etc., and oral sex.

Late 1952 or early 1953, in the Navy, Discipline Office in San Diego, California, I had what was called the "Discharge" Desk. I did the paper work, and discharged all of the UD's and BCD's for the Eleventh Naval District.

One of my first discharges, was a First Class Metalsmith, who was being discharged with an Undesirable Discharge, a UD.

He admitted, aboard ship, to some of his fellow sailors, that he had "oral sex," with his wife. I think different terminology was used in those days, but that covers it.

In the group was a Navy "Investigator," I forget what we called them then, not NCIS, maybe NIS, but something similar. He turned the information over to the "Bureau," and he was placed in the brig awaiting discharge.
