I lost the lottery in '69, so I joined the USNR for a four year tour. At boot camp I qualified for Electronics Technician "A" school, then they discovered I had a degree so they offered OCS. Navy spent several months training me to be a junior officer on a ship. Upon commissioning, BUPERS decided that my psychology degree was better suited to the Naval Drug Rehabilitation Center at NAS Jax. So there I was, spending 3 years dealing with Sailors and Marines who brought back some bad habits from 'Nam. Three years of that was enough to convince me to use my GI bill to go to grad school in something other than Psychology.
