Abstract

Personal background; I entered service in January 1974, completed signal AIT 31M and was in Korea during the fall of Saigon. I was chosen to train ROK signal corps soldiers to integrate their FDM systems with our PCM systems; this was my first experience training foreign armed forces. After serving 6 yrs 9 months I ETSed, and entered the work force as a communication specialist, went to college, and became an electrical construction Lineman. I reentered the Army Reserves during the first gulfwar ,joined a signal unit, activated but was not deployed. Following the 100 hour battle, I applied and was accepted to the Drill Sergeants School and transferred to the 91 DIY (In. This gave me some limited experience as a drill instructor, but a lot of training as an infantry soldier.
