Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Military Vietnam ? No, Vietnam Era....."Oh"

Thanks for all the kind support guys, I really appreciate it. I was also given a shot ( in Reception Center, Ft Leonard Wood no less!) to attend OCS. But I was 18, still had my long hair at that point, and scared. I could just see myself with the responsibility of 30 men's lives and me next to a radioman with that antennae sticking up! They also told me I had to take additional 3 yrs. I turned that down too. I could have ended up anywhere, who knows? But I really just wanted to serve my 2yrs and go to college with the GI Bill. Marry my girl and buy a home with the GI Bill. Have babies and live happily ever after! I got most of it...
