I was in tech school in Texas.

Mainly anger at why we didn’t nuke somebody yet.

When I completed schooling and got to duty in Florida, the base had A1A shutdown and controlled via Security Forces personnel.(Patrick AFB)
The building I worked in had the entire front turned into a blast wall.
It was actually the building they showed Major Nelson reporting to work to in I Dream of Jeannie.

I won my permanent deferment from the draft and then enlisted in the Army, I had my own ways of doing things, and I only respected people doing things out of principle, not fear or cowardice which is why I despised the guys who would flee the country.
