So out of curiosity, what would get a 23 year old out of Navy boot camp after two weeks? This kids claim is that they asked him to "come back in eight months". In school he was a thief, liar and serial plagiarist. He's totaled four cars since graduation, had several dead end jobs that never lasted more than a couple of months and flunked out of med tech and flight attendant schools. My money is on either not being able to follow orders or just couldn't. It's definitely not medical or fitness.

And that's why Texans make Aggie jokes. A lot were recycled Polish jokes, with "Aggie" swapped for "Polish"

My grandfather served in France in the Great War. It left him fairly pacifist, up until it became clear what Germany was up to. Then, of course my dad and uncle went to West Point.

I was there in 83 as a mildep/s. We got to take the command diesel and we got thoroughly checked inside and out, I guess to make sure no capitalist spies were clinging to the underside. There were also an armed GI and an armed Soviet soldier riding up in the control area. One sobering thing was on the ride in passing a monstrous Soviet tank base with thousands of tanks lined up. We took a trip over to the East zone, and at one point an East German military vehicle pulled alongside and tried to take Dads picture. I stuck my face in the window, so they missed that.

I was there for the summer from college, so I wasn't there for the exercises. I do recall the OPSEC ads on AFRTS that replaced commercials. There was a definite uneasiness in the air, what with Reagans "Evil Empire" and the rumblings from the Soviets. We were at Graf, so less than 20 miles from the Czech border. One thing that stood out about Berlin was the contrast between the modernity of the West zones and how all the scars of the war were gone and seeing remaining bullet holes and fragmentation marks on walls in the East. It was definitely grimmer over there. At Checkpoint Charlie we were taking pictures and I wanted to get a picture of the sign that said "You are now entering the American Zone". My sister said she saw the guards in the towers turning their binoculars on me. In going to take the picture I had inadvertently crossed the official line, which was in front of the wall itself. You might want to look for Deutschland 83, a German TV show I think is on Amazon now. It's in German with subtitles, and was shot around Berlin.

Coming back through Atlanta from France, my wife got stopped for a loving souvenir snow globe. She was telling the TSA lady it was less than 2 ounces and the lady goes "Ma'am (I'm not allowed to say bitch tone), we could be here all night if you want" So we empty a carryon and check it through. As we walk to the gate, I realize I have a mostly full bottle of water in my coat. I didn't tell her. Until long after we'd gotten home.

I went through Nuremberg airport in 83 at the height of the "Evil Empire " days. You not only went through metal detectors, you stuff was x-rayed and you got patted down. I was bringing back a 5 liter micro keg in my carry on. Not surprisingly, a large metal object going on a plane back then (this was around the time that one star got kidnapped) got anothe lot of attention. And their people carried machine pistols. I got grabbed by the arm as they opened my bag. They pulled my.bag open to show the giant can and I said "Ist gut Deutches bier" and luckily for me they all had a good chuckle and let me through. It was good beer, too.

In the book he does say that nobody can be denied the opportunity for a term of federal service if they want it. IIRC the example he used went along the lines of "if you were blind they'd have you counting the fuzz on caterpillars by touch or something. " So active military service wasn't the only way to citizenship. And the MM thing was about they didn't get credit for it and resented it. The big caveat was you got one shot - you could quit at any time, even right before a drop, but you never, ever got a second chance at citizenship.
