First Paragraph

On Saturday evening, March 23,1996, eighteen-year-old apprentice airman Steven Nary went looking for his regular carousing buddies on the USS Carl Vinson, then berthed at the Alameda Naval Air Station across the bay from San Francisco. Two of his fellow sailors were on vacation, however, and two were on leave, so Nary decided to go in alone, the first time he had done so. Bad move.
