I was in Boot camp in Great Mistakes, then A school in California, and C school in Texas. Then off to P-cola for more training. Then finally, after two years of training, I made it to my first duty station in Georgia. Was stationed in Georgia until my EAOS.
I was one of them there "college punks" who got drafted in '67. They must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel if they thought we'd make good soldiers.
Then after I took their tests, they kinda scrtched their collective head and said, "Which school do you want to go to?"
I had to sign up for another year, but the school was almost a year long. Essentially, they were paying me to go to school.
... and learn about computers and rockets.
Used to love St. Patties Day down on the river front.
