[Mike]

Enlisted Airborne Infantry Nov. 66 to beat the draft.
That was all I could get by enlisting.
I tested and passed for Infantry OCS.
At Ft Puke BCT they told us there would be a 6 month holdover for OCS and we would be assistant drill instructors while waiting for a class.
I opted out and went to Ft Gordon for Airborne Infantry AIT.
3/4 of the way thru they pulled 3 of us out of a two company formation.
They told us we had to go take the Special Forces test.
Cool-no training that day.
I was later notified that pending graduation from BAC I was to report to JFKSWC and SFTG.
There I would be trained to help save the world from the encroaching red tide.
I went to 6th Gp after SFTG, 2 tours 5th Grp as an A Team Puke, 6 months with 7th Grp and out.
All in 47 months.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
