I met SMG Wooldridge in Augsburg, Germany when I was a young Corporal. in the 24th ID. He used to hold NCO Call at 1700 hours at the NCO Club and encourage the NCOs to drink and play the "Slots".

In 1969, while Command Sergeant Major of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Wooldridge was accused in a congressional inquiry of fraud and corruption related to the military club system. This resulted in Wooldridge being tried in the court of public opinion. In 1973 the Department of Justice and Wooldridge reached an agreement whereby Wooldridge pleaded guilty to accepting stock equity from a corporation engaged in providing merchandise to the noncommissioned officers' clubs in Vietnam.

IMO: WOOLDRIDGE was a POS!
