Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3442935, member: 129"] Well....I went into the military in March 1967 as an enlisted man on a two year enlistment. I went through PI, LeJuene, and then went to the IBM ed center in DC. From their, Recon training & jump school (Force Recon at the time) 29 Palms. Think they are called Marine Raiders today. Nam on Jan 1 1968. Received battlefield commission in Nov 68 on terms to stay one more full year in Nam without going home. Went home December 29, 1969. Then it was Lebanon, Granada, Panama and whole bunch of countries without a passport. Best duty, 3 years in Israel. I speak Hebrew. And, there was a certain amount of time at Bethesda Naval Hospital and the Repose. Fairly ordinary service. No rules of engagement. [/QUOTE]
