In May of 1967, the then 19-year-old, knowing the draft was looming, followed in his older brother’s footsteps and joined the Marine Corps.Wilcox actually credits growing up in Wyoming’s ranch life as helping him deal with the rigors of being a soldier.
So, was he a Marine, or a soldier?

Hi.
Growing up in Florida taught me much (good parents, relatives and neighbors). Regarding nature and living in the wilderness.
How to hunt, field dress, butcher and cook a deer is an example. Marksmanship, safety and weapons maintenance are another. How to swim at an early age.
Team sports also helped going into the Army.
What was my point...?

Oh! My sisters and I loved CHIPS! Dad hated it since he was more of a Gunsmoke or Bonanza guy.
