| BASIC TRAINING 1962 |
| (WHAT A JOKE) |
| Started Basic in September 1962 Weapon Serial #1951, M-1 Rifle The company that started right after me were issued brand new M-14s. They were all Cubans and they sang Cadence in Spanish. (Who would of guessed we were training them for the second Bay of Pigs.) |

| Things I Learned in Basic Training, Ironing clothes and spit shining boots and floors (I already knew how to drink beer!) |
| Notice the rifle racks, with weapons. This was in 1962 when soldiers could be trusted with weapons. 1962 and I don't remember anyones name. |
