Joined the U. S. Army

[BlasterBob]

Exactly sixty two (62) years ago today, I enlisted in the U.S. Army. Signed up for three years. Excellent experience but wouldn't want another one like it.

So you fought for the North?


Your annual threads always put a smile on my face, BB. It'll be 38 years for me since I enlisted on July 3rd. I hope some day I can say the same thing.

Yes, well, as a matter of fact I did "fight" IN the North (at chilly old Fairbanks, AK)

I don't remember when I signed the papers (I was delayed entry due to college) but June 3rd of 2003 is when I shipped to FT Knox. I would do it again any day.

Which troop did you end up in? I was D 5-15 and graduated right as you were coming in.

Nope, though it sometimes felt like it.
