I enlisted in the Army in 1969. I volunteered for jump school, then I volunteered for Viet Nam. I was 18 years old when I arrived in Viet Nam, and I "celebrated" my 19th and 20th birthdays during my 18 months with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. When I returned to the US, I got married and my wife and I spent a year in Fort Bragg, NC with the 82nd Airborne.

It was quite an experience for a young man (boy), and I feel lucky to have made it back in one piece.

I did 6 active and another 6 reserve. Ended up STS2 (SS). The rate was locked up while I was active, so got out as E-4. I took my first advancement test after I came back in to the reserves after almost a 1 year break and made E-5 to my great surprise. I was eligible for E-6 a couple years before I got back out, but it was difficult to study for the test doing my weekend duty and most of my study materials basically being Secret, not to mention that I was not working within my rate while in the reserves. Has to settle for separating as E-5.
