Upon his graduation from high school in Johnson City, Poteat attended the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. After two years of studies, he transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he joined the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC). He graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1964. Poteat was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve in June 1964.  During the summer of 1964, Poteat attended the Damage Control School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after which he was assigned as a damage control assistant aboard the USS Blandy (DD-943), a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer. During his service aboard the Blandy, the ship was based out of the following locations: Boston Naval Shipyard, Massachusetts; Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island; and Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The ship's crew would also receive training at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba; and later they completed a deployment in the Mediterranean.  In 1966, Poteat left the Blandy to attend the Naval Destroyer School in Newport, Rhode Island. Upon the completion of his training in Newport in the fall of 1966, he served as the weapons officer aboard the USS Forrest Royal (DD-872), a Gearing-class destroyer based out of Naval Station Mayport, Florida. In 1967, the Forrest Royal was deployed to Southeast Asia to serve in the Vietnam War. During his tour of duty, Poteat's ship was based out of Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines, and completed missions throughout the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam. The Forrest Royal rejoined the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and returned to Naval Station Mayport upon the completion of the tour. After the Forrest Royal's return to Mayport, Poteat received orders to attend the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California. He graduated with a master's degree in computer science in the early 1970s. He then served at the Pentagon for the remaining years of his military service, first as an aid to an Admiral; then, he worked in the information services department. Poteat retired from the U.S. Navy in 1974, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander during his military career. Following his military service, Poteat worked for the Bureau of Naval Personnel as a civilian computer programmer for four years. He would then pursue a career in computer software engineering. He eventually came to live in Chapel Hill, N.C., which is where he was living at the time of this interview."},{"label":"Digital Characteristics","value":"4 pages"},{"label":"Format","value":["Summaries"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"All rights held by the State Archives of NC.
