I joined the Army, Sept. 17, '71. I joined to go and expected to go, short story, they sent "just" me to an intelligence detachment at USAEUR HQ. Second hitch was a combat air traffic controller (GCA). Felt guilty until recently about not going, I still got bombed, shot at and a knife hand to hand fight.....Baader Mienhof Gang. I sure got a xxxx load of training in the Army.
Thank you all for your service
