Military
I enlisted in the DC National Guard OCS program in April 1967 and took basic training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky that summer. It was then the home of the 101st Airborne but Gen. Olinto Barsanti took the entire division to Cam Rhan Bay in Jan. 68 just in time for Tet. I served with the 105th MP Det and 115th Evac Hosp and ended up in Chicago in 1972 as editor of 86th USARCOM command hq newspaper. I spent time at Fort Gordon, Ga., Fort Sam Houston, Tex., Fort Sheridan, Ill., Fort Belvoir, Va., Camp Varnum, RI, and other glamorous locations in southern states where the mosquito is the state bird. The only shots I ever heard fired in anger were in Washington, DC during the riots of 1968.
