軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

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.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

Fresh vegetables and milk.

Second tour, my wife.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

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.
