Army '66-72. Drafted in the beginning and stayed another 4 just for kicks.

Radio Operator, 05B, (morse code type) and 05B4H instructor. Also served a short time as a Drill Instructor 00F.

Bounced back and forth between PFC and Sgt (E-5) for the whole period.

Did I mention I had a good time! ;)

The bounce sort of implied you had a good time. I'm glad you did as that was not a fun time for many.

Enjoy  :celebrate

I had good duty until I took that extra 4 years. They were not the greatest.

What I referred to about a good time was hell raising. I bounced back and forth in rank many times via punishment for not following all the rules to the letter.
