A nice historic tid-bit, Eric. Of course, Jenny McCarthy would worry needlessly about the soldier's "risk" of autism!

OK, now, the form says Pvt., but it came from the pocket of a jacket with three stripes? What's up with that?

The pvt. rank is what he was when the record was first issued. They don't issue a new record every time they give you a shot. You don't remember that?

Sorry, no, they didn't immunize in the first semester of ROTC--which is far as I got.

The same is true of shot records that you get for international travel. You just keep making entries until there is no more space to make them... then you can usually get some supplemental pages... Shot records don't expire, they just mature with age, unlike humans...

I am turning 67 in October, ...goin' on 30!
