"I still want to know why "Teddy Baby" only had 16 months of service..."
Those were my thoughts as well. How does one go about serving only 16 months.
That's another great Kennedy story..... Teddy enlisted for FOUR years but his father flipped out and pulled strings to have the enlistment period curtailed.... at least that's the story that goes around, anyone know if it's been documented? Anecdote says that Joe, Sr. said to his meathead son Teddy "DON'T YOU READ ANYTHING?" (referring to the 4 year enlistment papers Teddy had signed, when daddy did not want Teddy going away from Haaahvahd for 4 years in the Army.
