But when I got to my unit they made me a publication and administrative clerk. When I was discharged I started working in Shipping & Receiving at various companies. It took me four weeks to find work back in the 80's after discharge. I learned telling people at an interview I was an artillery man did not go over well. A job coach told me to emphasis my publication & administration clerk experience in the service. I found a job within a week when I changed my resume.
