   Only one paper shows on my view ...
   It says that he was trained in "ABC" warfare protection, in my day it was called "NBC" with "Nuclear" instead of "Atomic" used for the same thing.
   We military, and specifically those of us in the Navy had to undergo training to know what to do if we were attack by Nuclear/Atomic weapons, Biological weapons and Chemical Weapons. This is just saying he went through the required 24 hours worth of training required.
   
   As "Cold War" sailors, we did not know to what our enemies would resort to in attacking us. We had to be ready to accept the attack, survive the attack, and to return the attack.

   The ABC training is dated November 1, 1961.. The documnet in the middle is for completeing a required course of sttudy prior to taking the examination for Avation Machinist Mate Second Class, it does not say if he achived that rank or not that is dated June 16, 1961.. I cannot make out the date on the discharge papers....

   The date on the discharge papers is hard to read but appears to be either 1954, 1957 or 1959, meaning he got out of the service in the 1950s on that date (I am sure you can read it on the original. As the date on the ABC training is 1961, it seems he re-entered the Naval Service.

   which of these are the discharge paper the and can tell you the date
7. AR8Jason, 13 months, 27 days ago
   The one on the right ... says Honorable Discharge.
   
   Understand that he may have re-enlisted and have served more than one term, and have more than one wet of discharge papers.
