Talk:Leighton W. Smith Jr.

Press-On

I remember serving with Admiral Snuffy Smith on the America from 1983 to 1985. Best darn CO ever. He never kept us in the dark about anything that happened or was going to happen. I believe I was the First sailor to re-enlist in the Captains Chair while at sea (USS AMERICA CV66). I was about to get out the Navy when he pulled me to the side and asked me one day, how is your Navy life going. I told him I was tired and didn't see myself making it in the Navy. He told me to go and see the Career Counselor. I did, best darn decision I ever made on my own. Before reenlisting he asked me did I get the orders I wanted. Yes Sir Captain I did (5 years working at the Pentagon in Legislative Affairs and on to Congressional Liasion) who would have thought, a African American from Baltimore at age 24 working for Congress. I miss him and often think about him. his motto was "Kick A55 and Press On" loved that guy.
