Gates, better known to his friends as Jack, enlisted in the US Navy in 1908 at the age of 17 and at the time of his death had served 36 years in active and reserve service. His first duty was aboard an old coal burning torpedo boat, a back number compared to the present day oil burning destroyers. In 1914 he was aboard the USS Salem that was sent to Vera Cruz, Mexico by President Wilson who had ordered the port taken following trouble with Mexico. After that he served on the USS New Jersey and went into the World War zone in 1917. That same year in November his ship and crew captured the German submarine U-58 with a crew of 24 off the coast of Ireland. After World War I Jack by then a confirmed salt, went to the far east where he was on duty during the war between Turkey and Greece in 1921 and 1922; also during the days of the Russian revolution. He had been in nearly every seaport in the world and was transferred to the fleet reserve after 16 years of active duty. It was then that he came to South Dakota and began ranching. When the war came to the US in 1941 he immediately answered a summons from the Navy to instruct men at Navy Pier, Chicago.
