Did my basic and return year at Benning(Moore now)

I was drafted into the Marines, knew about it a couple of months before, so started to visit the recruiters looking to get into the Navy(Navy family) or Air Force but they had 6 mo waiting lists. Army recruiter standing in the door watching me with a smile. Took the Army for three and my chosen MOS, stayed out of VN, thought I did good by going to Korea instead. But I won the Agent Orange lottery being on the DMZ the very same year they sprayed everything. Yay
