Fernandina Beach, FL, December 12, 2024 --(PR.com)-- This book is William C. Burk’s autobiography. He was one of four poor farm kids born and raised twelve miles from a small town in Delaware in the boondocks. He was just an average, normal farm boy—no academic genius or stellar athlete. So what gives him the audacity to think he should write an autobiography? As a youngster, his grandfather taught him to be a reader. As a result of becoming a bookworm, he became hooked on history and geography. There were faraway places that he thought he would love to visit. These dreams resulted in a four-year career as a Navy radioman that included a secret clearance and, after that, a twenty-seven-year career as a CIA communications expert with a top-secret crypto clearance. He served as a communicator under eight presidents from Kennedy to Clinton. He not only saw history happen and written; at times, he was part of that history. That is why this book has been written from the “worker bee’s” point of view and as a front-row seat to history.
He graduated high school June in 1961 and joined the Navy in July 1961.
After boot camp and radio school, he joined the fleet with orders to the Naval Air Facility in Naha, Okinawa, in July 1962, where he spent an eighteen-month tour. He left Okinawa in February 1964 with orders to join the USS Vancouver (LPD 2), which was home-ported at San Diego. He served on the Vancouver for eighteen months, which included an eight-month Westpac cruise. During this cruise, with other ships from Amphibious Squadron One, the first battalions of combat Marines landed in Vietnam. They returned to San Diego in June. He was discharged from the Navy in July 1965 as a Radioman Second Class.
In 1966, he joined the CIA as a Communications Technician-Radio, which became a twenty-seven-year career. Retirement in July 1993 concluded thirty-one years in the Navy/CIA communications, a world of secrecy and intelligence.
