        Fort Polk Louisiana BCT 6/66-8/66.
        U.S. Army Missille & Munitions Center & School, Redstone Arsenal Alabama, Nike Missile Repair School 9/66-4/67
        U.S. Army Missile & Munitions Center & School, Cadre, 4/67-12/67
        Direct Support, 44th Air Defense Artillery, Taechon-Ni Korea 12/67-2/69

        All in all not a bad gig. I wasn't really cut out for the military but I went in as an E-1 and left as an E-5. The military also paid for my college and helped finance my home. No real regrets or complaints here.

          Did some good and some bad times with some of the best people I ever knew.
          I consider military service as a basic rite of passage and don't have much regard for those who failed that.
          Sometimes tell war stories among vets.

                                Spent most of my career under the Med running at 4 knots and 400 feet, rigged for patrol quiet. Only excitement was shadowing Russian submarines for days at a time. Oh, for the glory days of the Cold War again!
