Different era.

In 62 I was in the ROK, assigned to the 1/12th Cav, I had a Corporal working for me who had over 20 years service, he soldiered during the day, but hit the booze when off duty. He had been busted more than a few times. I counseled him numerous times, he knew I would not recommend him for promotion. He ultimately retired in Korea, 62-63 timeframe, where his money would go far. Probably drank himself to death.
