Given when the filecard was written (sometime between 1982 and 1984 is my best guess), the Mekong reference squarely places Shipwreck as serving during the Vietnam War, likely as a member of Boat Support Unit One (the precursor of today's SWCC teams). The Guantanamo and Japan naval base references are likely naval base postings that aren't intended to be tied to any specific operations (although I'd like to imagine that Shipwreck was assigned to the Naval Security Group Activity when he was in Gitmo). The Middle East deployment could be a reference to anything, given that the US Navy has been active in that area in some form or another almost continuously since the 1970s.
