Significant Experiences

Army Transportation Corps - the unit I was assigned to supported our sister unit in Korea so I feel more connected to Korea than the Cold War.  My first assignment was a marine hull repairman after that I went thru the marine diving school and was assigned to the Fort Eustis diving locker which was a back up to the Seoul, Korea unit.  It was three years of my young life and it gave me a chance to grow up.
