I was born at Fort Ord.
My high-tech teens are fascinated when I tell them about the ancient technology I used in the Corps in the mid-1980s :-). “Wangs?!? I thought those were fiction!”
When I settled into a desk job at my duty station in 1973, we still had a few manual typewriters (I think they were Royals). We joked that only real men used manual typewriters.
