He was stationed in the Fiji Islands. He flew a SBD dive bomber. During his Pacific tour he was lost at sea after crashing in the ocean. He survived in a raft for two days before the USS Jenkins, a Navy destroyer, came from New Caledonia, 1000 miles away, to rescue him.

At the time of his discharge he held the rank of LTJG.
