What?! Are you serious, 2ndDivisionVet? This is amazing!
Yes, I took the ASVAB in 9th grade and the recruiters kept tabs on me until I was 17 and could go into the delayed entry program as a junior. My first assignment was a an early-warning “hotline operator” (intelligence analyst) at I Corps G-2 writing the DMZ Report for President Carter and keeping track of the North Koreans on the demilitarized zone. Later, during the Reagan administration, I kept track of the several North Korean corps at 2nd infantry Division and was something of a Korea hand at 1st Cavalry and 5th Mech divisions.
