I was commissioned in the Army upon graduating, and they moved me from Infantry to Adjutant General Corps because of my degree. Because of the way Nixon performed force reduction, I was swept out of active duty right after OBC. I think that was actually earmarked before I was commissioned. Branch changes for retention were prohibited for some reason. Eight years in Reserves.
My brother and his first wife were both flower-wearing, tie-dyed people who attended numerous demonstrations. That was winding down in that time frame. He is a heavy pot smoker to this day. He is a mess. But, he started his career as an English teacher and later became the principle of a high school. He retired from a position as an assistant superintendent of schools.
His son is as nasty as he, a chip off the old block.
Sorry, I was responding to your post 35, I didn’t scroll down far enough to see that you made another post.
Your brother sounds like he missed the hippie days, or else started college very, very late, anyway, he is just a liberal, he was not a flower child.
I remember those force reduction days, I felt bad for the guys, especially the battlefield promotion guys.
