I did a bit over 3 years in the Army right at the end of the Viet Nam era. 1974-77 Then I did 5-6 years in the Army Reserve as a NCO academy instructor. I was an E-7 when discharged in the middle 80's.
The only combat I saw envolved intoxicated GI's in the bars of Grafenwohr, Germany while I was over there helping to protect the free world from the scourges of the godless communist.
I spent two years in last graph. 83-85. I was with A and HQ 3/60.
