I followed you to the same place three years later.  I was just lucky that after they swore us the recruiter mentioned sub pay if we wanted stinky submarines.  Plus we got to play on the Roncador for a year just to learn what chit was along with duty.

I probably stayed in the same transit barracks you did my first night I reported for active duty.  I was sad when I saw the lights of San Pedro near my parent's house in the hills that first night while I worried about what I had signed up for.  However I was just happy I had escaped reporting for my Army date by the skin of my teeth, and wouldn't have find out what Vietnam looked like from a grunt's point of view.
