Everytime I hear about the military I get a bad feeling. Back in 1966 I was a young outlaw living the life of Riley. Then I got one of those draft notices. No problem, I had a long list of injuries and so I pulled together the xrays from the doc and went to the recieving center. Figured I'd be back on the bus headed for home as soon as the physical was over. Well... I was right about the bus, but the one they put me on was headed to Ft Leonard Wood for Boot Camp! The beginning of two very long years in the military.

Of course, I might have felt different if it were West Point and baseball. The mental part made that impossible in my case.
