In 1963 I enlisted in the Army at a little town called Moose, Wyo. and was sent to Fort Ord, CA for my basic training and AIT, indoctrination into the Army way of life, I found it to be tougher and more physical but more of a challenge then the Air Force way of life. Following is a partial list of the stations or posts I have been assigned to during my sixteen years with the Army;
*
1963--1966 Giessen Germany

Oct 1978 Retired at Ft Stewart, GA.
My wife and I enjoyed the time we spent in the Army, it was very challenging for her having to move every three years or shorter and getting adjusted to the new environments and customs of each new assignment at different posts and commands. The Military is not a place for all wife's or persons, it takes a very special woman to spend twenty years or so moving in and out, giving up her household and starting a new one in a foreign country, especially while raising children, keeping the family together while her mate is off to war or maneuvers for months at a time. My hats off to those wives who have accomplished this in their life time of service to husband, family, and country.
