[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2139012, member: 5412"] I was drafted in 70, but never opened the letter. Went to the recruiter, and told him I wanted to sign up for an extra year to get a school. My highest scores were in electronics, so I selected fixed station microwave operations and maintenance as a school. got it in writing. Attended The school, finding out that if you failed a segment, you were then shipped to an infantry unit. Good incentive to study. That was as far as the "in writing" went. Once you hit your duty station anything goes. I ended up carrying a field radio in a rifle squad in Vietnam. Never the less, that education And the fact I could put it on my resume' opened a lot of doors for me and my family. All these years later, I'm still making a good living from the training and education I received from the military. [/QUOTE]
