Timing had a lot to do with what was happening. I was in ROTC, and went to summer camp training shortly after we pulled out of Vietnam. The need for more officers changed dramatically. I was wanting to do helicopter pilot training, and the physical for it
showed some minor kink in my back. They said I did not qualify as a pilot. I ask in I did not qualify as a pilot, did I qualify as a soldier. Next day I was on the street looking for a summer job, and ended up working for a taxicab company as mechanic/driver.

<p class="MsoNormal_mailru_css_attribute_postfix">I’m at the young end of Vietnam. I had a high lottery number. I did try to enlist into the Army in 72 I think at 20, but as a very active alcoholic with way too many arrests even then, they said no thank you.
I wasn’t daring enough to go to the Marines. Hindsight being what it is, I wish I had. However I may have never got sober or lived as long as I have.

quit bothering me. In retrospect I wish I had had the experience of military duty.</p>
