	Story Line:

Vince Sedlacek is not a person to cry over spilt milk. He was drafted and made the decision to join the Navy. When the Navy found out he had experience with Gray Marine diesels, his wartime career was cast in stone. After his basic training at Great Lakes he was assigned to the USS Warren P. Biddle Amphibious/Attack Transports (APA-8). He became a Motor Machinist Mate (MOMM) Third Class and assigned to the repair and rebuilding of the Gray Marine diesels in the 25 to 30 Amphibious Landing Craft on the ship.
