I had a father-in-law that was small in stature. He was solicited to transfer from the army to the army air corp. He turned it down because he didn’t want to become a ball turret gunner. He slogged ashore at Normandy instead.

Great set of choices. You got to love the military.

I had three requests to make. I asked for an auxiliary ship, West Coast, and operations. The outcome was perfect. I got a Far East ship, engineering, and an amphib (LST).
