Hey,I hope that other services can join in!

Ft Knox,October '69.Sgt Donald King...just back from RVN sporting a Combat Infantry Badge.Clearly didn't like recruits,particularly Yankee types (he being a Southern boy).

Northern KY southern IN having the coldest winter in 50 years.Damn! it was cold.

While in BCT,they invited me and a couple of others in my company to go to OCS.I declined,knowing that 2LT's had a life expectancy of about 20 minutes in SE Asia.

Otherwise,pretty run of the mill.Emerged from Ft Knox as a lean,mean killing machine...with an MOS of 71 Hotel (Personnel Specialist) ;-)

No biggie, GSC, it takes all kinds to make the Green Machine run well.

98G/RU - Linguist. I spent 7 years doing the job I trained for, and 13 years training or pushing paper...and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
