Rucker, & Ft. Eustis. Spent the last 10 years in the Guard at Selfridge ANGB in MI. Still stop in and see my friends from time to time.

Thanks to all those whom I share this family with. I enlisted not only to serve our country but to honor my Dad, a WW2 vet who saw a lot of action in Europe. He passed away just a few months after I retired. I guess he knew that I was safe then.

another old guy. viet nam '66 to 67. Da Nang ,85th maint co. workrd on 175 mm cannon ,40 forty foot barrel. 4 sets of 2 from DaNag to the DMZ. We were winning when I left. at least thats what they told us.
 
Drafted into Army Nov. 29, 1972, basic @ Ft. Jackson. Draft was ended when I was in basic and I ended up being the last person drafted in my county which includes the University on North Carolina. AIT @ Ft. Bliss and then to Germany assigned to a German missile base in the North Sea and Dutch border area. Separated as a Spec. 4 on 14 Nov. 1974. Started college on the GI bill 10 days later, (quarter system).

Prior to separating I ordered a new 75 Corvette through the PX to be delivered after getting home. The kicker is that Corvette, which I still have, was ordered to replace my 68 383, 4-speed Road Runner. Have no idea where that car is now and don't know how to find it, wish I could. The Road Runner is well, to say the least, so much more valuable than that Vette today, however that Vette was much more fun at the time to a 22 year old college student.
