Military Experiences
Jun 1969
Senior First Cook
We were at Ft. Lewis for training with ejection seats for our pilots on a new aircraft coming out. A couple Pilots had gone up into the Cascade Mountains and brought back a mess of trout. I cleaned all the fish, battered them up and deep fried them for 8 to 10 officers who were waiting at table to eat. Here I come with a huge platter of fish and without realizing it dumped the whole load on the floor. Good thing the floor was very clean so I picked up the fish and took them back to the kitchen cleaned them up good and warmed them up and reserved them properly this time. Those "O"s" never let me forget that but there was never a word of reprimand. Great, good guys my pilots.
Deployments

National Guard Armory,Fulton County Airport
The South was in upheaval in the 60's. I saw the riots in Montgomery and the KKK at Leb's on Lucky street from the Piedmont hote in Atlanta. And then Martin Luther King got assassinated. My unit was activated on April 8th for the MLK funeral on April 9th. with full gear and weapons and trucks. 40k troops surrounded Atlanta. Deployment?? Maybe not..
