Joyce interviewed me for a job at PIMALCO. i was in the US Navy so we got off to a good start. we sat and told sea stories to each other..he told me he and other UDT's used to swim into German ports in WWII to put magnetic mines on the ships to blow them up. they had to cut thru the sub nets protecting the ports so the Germans knew they were coming and would send divers down to intercept Joyce's teams. when they met they would have knife fights under water but the surviving UDT's would continue with their mission then have to fight their way back out to sea. i was very honored to have met such a brave, heroic man.
