My orders to Vietnam were changed to Alaska at the last minute. The
TV station I was to work at was over run about two weeks after I would
have arrived, and it's very likely I wouldn't be here since most of the
staff was killed. I got what was left of a 5 KW Gates VHF TV transmitter
for parts at the station in Alaska.

I had several underage girls try to trick me into bed while stationed
at Ft. Rucker. They used a lot of makeup, and some guys fell for it.
The worst part was that their families were making them prostitute
themselves because the parent or parents were too lazy to work. Some of
the girls were just 13. A couple of the other soldiers kept track of
who they were, and warned you they were minors. Still, a lot of guys
were screwed out of half of their pay, until they retired or didn't
re-enlist.

I think it's a real shame, that we lose so many
good people in that war. Glad that the spread
of communism was slowed, for a while.

A wise writer once wrote "thou shalt not commit
adultery". If people would live that commandment,
they would have better lives in so many ways.
