  5. Interview Questions Date of service? 1962-1971 How old were you when in army? 20 years old Where you drafted or did you enlisted? Both, First I was drafted then I wanted to be promoted so I enlisted and qualified for schooling for two years.

  6. Did you fight in combat?No, When I was sent overseas, my MOS (job) was in the signal core. The signal core is radio communications. I was a specialist. I was located at Tan Son Nhutfor 6 months then relocated for 6 more months in Vung Tau. How long were you in Vietnam? 1 year. It was the end of the war. I did my schooling in Ft Bragg, N.C. for sixteen months then I was discharged.

  7. Did you have a good friend that you still keep in touch with?Yes, Jim Spry We met at Ft. Bragg Did you use anything from what you learned in the service later on in life? Long Story! When I got discharged I applied at different Telephone Companies but didn’t get called by them. Then Someone told me Lenox Crystal was hiring. I applied and got hired. I didn’t realize it was a glass company! I thought it was electronics. See there were transistor radios called crystals.

  8. What do you think aboutVeteran’s Day? Veteran’s day is nice because it honors the soldiers. But I myself don’t like war and when I think of Veteran’s day I think of war. I did not want to fight, that is one reason I signed up for schooling. I look forward to the time when God say’s “Man will learn war no more” (Found in Revelations I think)

  9. Funny Memories When I went to Vietnam I went surfing on a surf board when I was on RNR. Never did that before being a country boy. When I was coming home, my car engine blew up. My brother had to come pick me up in Maryland.
