16 - bingo - "When I was in ROTC, press releases were sent to everyone's local paper. It was a recruiting tool. My name was in my local paper 3-4 times. I was somewhat embarrassed, but my parents loved it!"
Me too, in the reserves and active duty during the war.
This goes back a long way. I have a clipping in my family history file of an article on my dad's completion of OCS from the Rome GA paper.
