Electronic Lucky Bag: First Battalion

Jon Christian Warn

Vallejo, California

Following a year of study at the California Maritime Academy, Jon decided to leave the West Coast and his first love, the Maritime Service in favor of the Naval Academy. Academics did not present any threat to his Naval Career as indicated by his frequent appearance on the Superintendent's list. Jon's wit and "Blue and Gold" personality have won him many friends during his four years at the United States Naval Academy. Sailing soon caught Jon's interest and he became an integral part of a winning ocean racing crew which participated in the '62 Newport-Bermuda Race. The "Warn" walk is sure to bring back memories as Jon is seen bouncing happily about the future. Jon, a descendant of two generations of submarine builders, is looking forward to conning his boat someday into Mare Island as a member of the silent service.
