When I got out of Military Police School, I had orders to go to Korea and Vietnam. Just before boarding the ship for Korea they changed my orders and sent me to Germany. I wasn't mad at them. I was a young man and a "player". I am sure almost any young man who was in the server will see some of themselves in this book. I started it in Germany in 1966 and didn't complete it u until Jan of 2014.

I planned to join the Army or Marines out of High School with my best friend, Pedro. We were going to go Special Forces. I got a 4 year apprenticeship at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and was later drafted and sent to Germany. Pedro joined the marines and was killed in Vietnam.
