Larry's Story
I enlisted in the Regular Army (RA) in 1965. Basic Training at Ft. Polk, LA with AIT at Ft Ord, CA. In October '66 I went to Vietnam from Ft Benning, GA. with the rest of the main body of the 199Th Lt Infantry Brigade. After 3 weeks at sea (USMS Daniel Sultan) We arrived 9 Dec 1966 at Vung Tau on our way to our base camp at Long Binh. I rotated out of Vietnam in Nov 1967 en route to Ft Huachuca, AZ. Other stateside assignments included Fort Ord, CA. Fort Lewis WA, to Fort Gordon, GA., Ft Polk, LA., and St Louis, MO.
Overseas tours included Korea, Panama, West Germany, Italy. I resided off post (local economy) while in Korea, Germany, Italy, and Panama. My best "fun" years were spent working as a broadcaster with Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) in Panama (80-82) in Korea (84-85) and then ending in Vicenza, Italy (89-93). For awhile I managed WFGG 88.3 FM, in Augusta, GA (85-8...Expand for more
9). I retired at end of October, 1997 from Fort Lewis WA. where I was the I Corps and Fort Lewis Public Affairs Sergeant Major. All in all a very busy and productive 32 odd years I'd say and the best part of all of this were the incredible places I lived in and all the people I got to know along the way.
I have two grown sons, Sean 37 and Adam, 27. My grandaughter Alecia is in her 1st year of college and I have todler grandson also named Sean. I moved back to SoCal in 2009 and live in Redondo Beach in South Bay. Today I build computers, dable in history, genealogy and past era pop music (duh, what else would a retired broadcast discjockey do with his idel time. Here I am in my 66th year and am amazed at what has happened in my lifetime and the things I've seen up close and personal. Met some incredible people along the way. All in all its been a great life so far.... who knows about tomorrow.
