in the 24th Division, too. Every Friday afternoon the NCOs had "NCO Call" at the local club where drinking was permitted and gammbling on the slots was encouraged. He had the backing of the Division Provost Martial who would go on to being the PM for MACV and who was Court Martialled for his involvement with Wooldridge.

He was a great combat soldier but obviously had a major character flaw when it came to money/troops.
Would have been a great Mafia Capo.
Sadly, we still allow Wool and McK to still hang around, speechify etc just because they were the SMA.
