QMC Lutz, DOC Seymour, PNl Deleon NAVIGATION DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION OFFICER Having been born and raised in a small town in Minnesota, LTJG Nicolin decided to strike out for the big city. Strike out he did as he ended up in Annapolis, MD. at the Naval Academy. Feeling that things could be worse he managed to survive the punishing four years missmatch of naval tradition against inquiring and imaginative thought. He graduated and was commissioned as an Ensign in June of 1971. He then journeyed west to find out what life was all about and ended aboard USS JOHN PAUL JONES. Since reporting aboard in July of 1971, he has participated in many aspects of destroyer operation and has developed his talents to the point where he is now regarded by both his juniors and seniors as the complete officer. Indeed it will be a major loss when he leaves in July of 1974 for a new duty station.
