They trained me as a combat medic. I went there as a civilian in 1951 and was drafted in 1953. I ended up at Ft Bragg NC with the 82nd Airborne.

I was working behind the fence in an secured area testing some of the largest projects: M1A1 Abrams Tank Bradley Fighting Vehicle M60 Tank Gamma Goat Truck 16 Ton & 8 Ton Goers -We even sank one that water was cold.
