When / where did you serve?

The way I looked at it was most of the draft dodgers were probably people I wouldn't want covering my ass anyway, so it's good that they left the country.

It was bad enough when all the drug-users started joining up. That's when I threw in the towel after seven years ('63-'70). We carried nuclear-tipped torpedoes, and we had guys smoking grass in the damn torpedo room! And who the heck knew what was going on the in missile control center with the door closed and locked all the time.

Dang what would they call call a 17 yr. old who joined the Army durning Vietnam. An I better not see the word dum or stupid or the black coated guys will visit with a thousand camel fleas.

I volunteered in May 1970 at 17 years, 2 weeks old. I have never seen a Draft card and have no idea what they look like. When I retired in 1997 at age 44, I was told by a Navy LT. at TAP class(Transition Assistance Program) that I had to register with Selective Service. I just looked at him and said "If you want me just follow the monthly check."

For Sarge

I did a talk at a modeling convention here on Long Island this summer past about Quad 50s in Vietnam and a woman walked up to me
and wanted to know if I would shake the hand of her brother. It seems he went to Canada and wanted to shake my hand. Well I refused
and had to restrain myself from putting him in the hospital. The SOB had to send his sister over to me , as he couldn't ask himself.

RVN 70 and 71 Quad 50 gunner we ran convoys in the highlands and at times right up to Dong Ha up on HWY 1 .
