When I got out of the hospital in Japan and was sent back to VN, I was picked for the Div HQ XO forward. We had over 50 2ndLT and 500 EM. 40% of my workload was planning escort duty with the post MPs to the local JAG office for summary adjudications. Most were potheads, barrack fights, and/or petty crime. The dealers & sellers got time in LBJ before receiving dishonorables. They made them complete their "Tour"

Completely sold me on NEVER again accepting a staff assignment
