Chebanse, IL.....

Happy Veterans Day to all veterans of the USA & our allied friends.

If you don't mind sharing, when/where/what was your service obligation? I'll lead off.

US Army-drafted, April 18, 1968. Military induction center in Chicago, IL.

Basic Training, Ft Polk LA (first time away from Chebanse, first jet plane ride)

AIT Training: Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio TX. Army medic training. 91A10. But, prior to that, there was 2 weeks LPC (Leadership Preparation)...aka "grapeheads".

Sept 1968, completed medic training, shipped to Augsburg, Germany (southern part of the country, near Munich). 30th Field Hospital. Worked on the Obstetrics/New Born Nursery ward for 18 mos.

Discharged from there at the end of March, 1970 as a 91B20.

Thanks to all past, present & future fellow-veterans. And, thank you for all the "thanks to veterans" messages appearing on this website & others. I appreciate the honor given.
