Ten Thousand and a Wake-up is a series of stories about a journey through five decades in the Navy. From Seaman Recruit to Commander, Stephen Wendt took a different, distinctive, humorous path to success. From a non-qual on a submarine, to a Chief Staff Officer of a Submarine Squadron, to a contractor at Submarine Force Headquarters, Stephen was witness to, and part of, major social changes in the U.S. Navy. The Navy after the Vietnam War, Life on a Boomer in the 70s, the last days of The Admiral, Women on Ships, Dont Ask; Dont Tell, and Fraternization Policies were all part of his Navy experience. Ten Thousand and a Wake-up is a look at these changes through a slightly off-center lens.
