US Army 1961 to 1964. Presidio of San Francisco, Vietnam MAG Headquarters, Ft Lewis, WA. Spec 5 on discharge.
US Army, MOS 74E20, 10/10/66-11/1/68,E5 Early out because Ft. Bragg where I was stationed was being overrun with returnees from Vietnam. They needed the space and I had 1 more semester to finish my degree. Food was much better anywhere that wasn't a Basic Training mess hall.

Army. 20 years in - guided missile man, then intelligence (Russian), then I spent the last 8 1/2 years of service as a "viewer" and then the trainer of the military's (all five services) "remote viewing" unit (called by the press, "psychic spies"). If you've ever seen the film, "The Men Who Stare At Goats", it was a film ridiculing everything we did in the military. George Clooney played me in it. Good film. I laughed all the way through it. Actually the work we did saved lives, made a huge difference in many military operations over almost a quarter century, and saved the U.S. taxpayers megabucks in the costs of intelligence collection. Much of it is still classified.
