The Master Chief’s story continues! From the very first page, Moye recounts his captivating life as it transitioned from calamity to blessing to triumph—guided by none other than the good Lord Himself. A bold statement yes, but find it true as we follow an evolutionary part of this sailor’s incredible journey.
After a shipmate’s error aboard Moye’s previous ship, the USS Comte De Grasse, the 26-year-old, eight-year Navy veteran spent two months back home in the hills awaiting orders, during which time he faced an uncertain period of life. While discovering himself and his family, his great transformation continued. Concurrently, while enjoying “the time of his life,” Moye yearned for the challenges and camaraderie the Navy had provided during his service to country.
Once aboard the USS Preserver, Radioman First Class Moye was lauded for his “fantastic” performance while navigating through his own “Dark Ages,” characterized by reckless drunkenness and promiscuity. This chapter of the Master Chief’s life, difficult as it was, presented the need and opportunity to better himself—and he did.
While adhering to a self-imposed “drying out,” Moye prayed for God to send him “a good Christian woman” to help him return to the straight and narrow. With four-months on the wagon, the good Lord answered, beginning what Moye refers to as the “best years” of his life.
This volume of The Master Chief’s Sea Stories continues to detail Moye’s uniquely incredible journey, illustrating how the boy from the hills overcame self-destructive activity and excelled. You’ve gotta read this—because, as with the rest, it’s a no-shitter.
