 Recently found out my father enlisted in the Navy on 17 April 1945. He was 14 yoa and enlisted under the name of Thomas Aloysius Scanlon. He reported 28 May 1945 and did Basic at Sampson, graduating as a Seaman Second. He was enroute to Cavite PI when his age was discovered and he was honorably discharged. He was discharged 5 Sept 1945. Trying to find what class he may have been in. I figure he may have graduated sometime in July considering the training cycle of the time. Also curious what MOS he had from his training. His discharge shows sea duty, I'm guessing he did not have enough time in the PTO to be eligible for that ribbon. He was awarded the Victory Medal and American Campaign medal. Any help would be greatly appreciated
