Condiciones de Vida

Slept on the ground when in Pup tents, on beds when in barracks. Bathed in Irrigation ditches when necessary. Meals were Monotonous many times, but the cooks did a damn good job for what they had to work with. Entertainment: Mostly made our own (e.g. cards, socializing, etc.)

Lo que más extraño durante su tiempo en las fuerzas armadas

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

Discipline - That GIs in the 442 and MIS made it possible for us to live as we do today.

Información adicional

The biggest personal battles came after I received my Ph. D. degree, mainly to secure an academic position and to be finally accepted by my professional peers.
