Let's see, 1969, busted out of West Point, had a Flag on my file at the Draft Board that read "NEXT" !!! Knew enough about the system and the Army to know that I did not want to go to RVN as a mere grunt. Enlisted for Airborne SF, never regretted it since. As I have said before, Even moreso than the Marine's "Once a Marine ALWAYS a Marine" SF is not merely an accomplisment and a green hat, it is a MINDSET, ATTITUDE, PHILOSOPHY, WAY OF LIFE kind of thing that represents and embodies "de Opresso Liber" for the rest of your life.
