During his active duty Naval service Bob had three deployments to South East Asia, based primarily at Naval Air Station Sangley Point, Republic of the Philippines and Cam Rhan Bay, Republic of South Vietnam. In these assignments he flew several hundred combat support hours in the Viet Nam conflict, supporting coastal blockade efforts and Fleet surface protection in the Tonkin Gulf off the coast of North Viet Nam and the Communist Island of Hainan.
