I enlisted right out of college...got my draft notice the next day! Never did get the two synched so I went through two sets of processing and two physicals! Spent my enlisted time as a Nike Hercules Missile Fire Control Mechanic. Got a direct commission after almost three years. First assignment as an officer was in support of a German Hercules unit, then did an ITT to Vietnam in 1967. Interesting start to a 20-year career.
