This started a Naval career that spanned 28 years and included tours in Long Beach, Charleston, South Carolina, Dallas, Texas, Bermuda, Japan, Adak, Alaska, and Bethesda, Maryland.


It was during her second tour at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda (now Walter Reed Hospital) that Mary received a promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
