First tour of duty
After an application for a twelve month deferment to study in Paris was denied,
Kerry enlisted in the United States Navy on February 18, 1966. He was ordered into active duty on October 19, and received his Navy commission on December 16. After completing a year of training, in December of 1967 he began his first tour of duty, serving as a lieutenant in the electrical department on the guided-missile frigate USS Gridley (DLG-21).
