A quartermaster's naval misadventure, as served in the 1970s West Pacific "The Navy. It's not just a job, it's an adventure." So said the television ads, and so, having graduated high-school during America's withdrawal from Vietnam, Gary Thorpe signed up. A quartermaster, his job is to steer and navigate the ship, but he learns quickly that being in the US Navy entails much more -- and much less -- than advertised. "Not Just A Job" is the story of Thorpe's time aboard the USS Okmok , an ammunition ship stationed near San Francisco, and the experiences he acquires during his ship's service in East Asia, particularly at every port, from Yokosuka to Subic Bay.
