Military
When I got my dischard I saw that the records were never brought up to date. They thought I was a high school drop out. I am now the retired Dean of a School of Music. That's how much Buck knew about people. The Berry Was my only duty. 2 years active 4 years reserve. But my reserve unit didn't train IC men so they told me don't come to meetings. What did I like about the navy?
On day they couldnt steer the ship. So I had to leave mess cooking to go fix when the 3rd class didn't have a clue of what to do.
