Recuerdo más vívido de la experiencia militar

I interpreted for a General investigating the shooting of a Russian Lt. and a Sergeant by the South Korean Police on the 38th parallel.

Second tour: A top secret courier from GHQ came with a request for 69 copies of a photograph. The photo turned out to be a girl with her tit caught in an old fashioned wringer.

¿En lo personal, qué obtuvo de su experiencia militar?

There are many that live in very primitive conditions and are never exposed to many things we take for granted in the U.S.A. Enjoyed tour of Japan, but there are many cultural differences between American-Japanese and Japanese.
