I have a real problem remembering some events, I don’t know why. To this day there’s things I just can’t remember. I can’t figure out why.
In boot camp at Fort Knox, there were three meals: misery, agony and pain. But I wasn’t afraid; that’s the only part that was real. It was strange, it wasn’t like I was scared and shaking in my boots or anything like that. But then they started handing out duties, and that’s when I got afraid.
My first MOS was wire work. The reason being I had worked for Ohio Bell. I listened to Morse code and typed it. Then we had to climb poles. It was a lot better than boot camp.
