Started Army career in 1968 after I got my induction notice, I immediately went to the recruiter in Albany Ga and volunteered for the Signal Corps.

I extended in Vietnam for six months for a free 30 day leave and a change of unit. I was assigned to the 275th Sig Co, 1st Sig Bde they attached me to MACV-Team 47 in An Loc (Hon Quan) from Aug 70 to Jan 71. I spent a year out of the Army in 71, Fuerth Gy W.O.
