Two of those years were spent in the US Army during the Korean War and was drafted in 1953. I also married my high school sweetheart. Our daughter was born at Ft Bragg NC. Since I was drafted while working for the government I was rehired back at my old job as a returning vet. We tested all those vehicles used by the Army. The Abrams M1A1 Tank and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle were big projects. The Army base is called Aberdeen Proving Ground located near the Chesapeake Bay. Hal [Reply]   [No Email]

El Toro in reply to SweetFeet, 08-31-2012 07:12:04   My older brother joined the Air Force 3 days after we graduated from high school in 1951. My two brother-in laws that were married to my wife's older sisters served in WW2 and were still in the active reserves. Both were recalled to active duty in 1950 and both retired from the military. Working for the federal government and being a vet puts you in different category when there's a layoff. If you were wounded in action you're put into a different category. Hal   [Reply]  [No Email]
