Proudly served and would do it all over again in a heatbeat. I enlisted delayed entree my junior year of High School and planned to retire at 39 and then join my local LEO agancy to get double retirement. The budget cuts in 1992 got me and change my plans.

Interesting. My father was 335th RRC and toured SE Asia in '69. I wonder if the two of you crossed paths?
