In BCT in '69,there was a guy in our company who was obviously retarded.Not *profoundly* retarded,but enough so that he should have never been taken into the military.

And he was an "RA"...not a "US".

He went AWOL as we were preparing to graduate BCT.I hope that he was given a decent discharge.

We also had one in our BCT, in 1965. A guy from Arkansas, all he wanted was, a pair of combar boots and Sgt. stripes. After one month, he was given a discharge. He took his pay, went to the PX, bought a pair of boots and a set of Sgt. stripes. He was a "US".

We always had extra duty during his one month, because of his lack of what was going on.
