I volunteered to go. I was doing no good in college and had no idea what I wanted to do and Uncle Sam was paying for a trip to an exotic place. The army wouldn’t take me because I didn’t weigh enough so I ate a LOT for a month and went AF.I’ve been back several times and will go back at least once more, maybe to stay, if we get Obamacare.
“I was doing no good in college and had no idea what I wanted to do and Uncle Sam was paying for a trip to an exotic place”
That reminds me of the old Army slogan: “Join the Army, See the World,” which was once parodied as: “Join the Army and See...the Opposing Army!”
