FD Oh definitely (humorous) sarcasmā¦ which fit dads personality pretty well. š Getting his DoD records is on my to do list. Also finding more info on Fort Churchill, the DEW line and Fort Belvoir, VA. Kicker is he was a 5ā 6ā heavy equipment operator with the Engineers (someones gotta do the dirty work).

ironlips Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I know from "heavy equipment", having driven an M-48A-1 tank. I told the intake officer I played the trumpet and asked for an audition for the Army Band. "No can do", he said, "but would you like to work indoors?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
