NCOhio | I was at Ohio State in 1970 but really just wanted to farm. My Dad got leukemia and was dying. I got no. 19 in the lottery so I joined the National Guard. Went to Ft. Polk for basic and Ft. Sam Houston for AIT. I'll never forget the small kid from Louisiana when he saw his orders for Vietnam. I really felt sorry for him. Came home and started farming with Mom's help. Went to monthly meetings and 2 weeks each summer. What a total waste of time. I was in an Ambulance unit and I thought for sure we would be called out for the Xenia tornados, but they just used Infantry units. | |
