Eli Rauzon was born and grew up in Ohio. He attended a one room school house for a time and had a paper route as a kid. Eli chose the Navy, partially because the World War I veterans he had spoke with have some repercussions from muster gas and told him to go Navy. He also had a neighbor that had joined the Navy. Eli went into the service a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. His assignment in the Navy was in electrical repair, which lead to working on submarines in Brisbane, Australia. Eli continues in the Navy through until after the signing of the peace treaties. Eli also ended up also serving in the Army and Army Air Force.
