As a former enlisted sailor and officer in the United States Navy, Carl Nelson is well suited to write this book. In his first career, he rose from boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Station in Wisconsin to a highly decorated Navy captain by way of Annapolis and a naval career that spanned more than thirty-three years. It included duty as faculty at West Point and Annapolis, four tours of duty in the Vietnam War. His sea assignments included commanding officer of the guided missile cruiser U.S.S. Worden CG-18, the frigate U.S.S. Cook FF-1083, the towing/salvage vessel U.S.S. Cocopa ATF 101, and as the senior military advisor (Commanding Officer) of sailors and Marines in the Rung Sat Special Zone (RSSZ), a brown water riverine unit.
Since retirement from the Navy he has earned a doctorate, taught as a professor and is now an author listed in Who’s Who in California, 1989, Who’s Who in America, 2006, Who’s Who in American Education, 2006, and Who’s Who in the World, 2007.
