USS SLC..."Enlisted Navy"...Oscar W. Silleman, SK2
April 14th, 2000 Enlisted Sept. 26, 1940 & went to Boot Camp NIS, San Diego, CA. I made friends with 
Joe Driscol while there. After finishing training, Joe & I
went on boot leave to my home in Sylmar, CA. (see picture below) Joe & I went on board the SLC on Dec. 11, 1940. I went into the 3rd Division & had quite a surprise seeing that Max O. Ewing, SK1c &
LeRoy E. Ewing, SK1c
were aboard.
I knew them from high school in San Fernando, CA.I was transferred to the Supply Division sometime in 1942. I worked in GSK as Storekeeper & also clothing & small stores.
