Military Experiences
Ordnance Technician
Worked Ordnance, 45-K-20, for forty M-60 series Tanks and 3 M-113 A.P.C.'s Not much to say about it. You break it...I fix it. I enjoyed my M.O.S. due to the constant change and although I was an Ordnance man, The Tankers would have a spot for me now and then and the Lt. liked me because I could keep his Tank running. Best Job I've ever had. I had my 17th birthday on Sept. 21st. and became a Soldier on Oct. 12th.
