Arthur Rubin served in the  U.S. Navy for almost 4 years.

My active duty time was 10/1/1958 through 9/30/1962. I reached the rank of E-5, Petty Officer Second Class. I was an Electronics Technician, with special training in Crypto Repair. After graduation from ET School, I went on board the Light Cruiser, USS Galveston, CLG-3. Mostly Caribbean cruises, then Naval Base Philadelphia for refitting. Transferred to CAG 2, USS Canberra.
