_____________________________
Mike, if you get the chance you should check out Adak. You’d dig it. Go fishing or hunt caribou.
My Dad hated Adak. He said Hawaii was an expensive rock, and Adak was just a rock. You really didn’t want to get him started on Diego Garcia.
Best,
Ted

F.cking guy like anywhere he was stationed? _____________________________ Go brush your tooth, Stan. Puerto Rico, New Orleans, Colorado, Alaska. Didn’t have much good to say about the East Coast. Guessing you might have loved Diego Garcia. Best, Ted ____________________________________________________ If he ever uttered anything about Detroit, I missed it.

You got 3 to choose from. All three I guess. Didn’t care for LeJeune, eh? _____________________________ Visit the dentist every 6 months, Stan. Keep your pearly white healthy.

Only number I remember was 1101. His favorite spots aligned with the time he spent recruiting. He instructed marksmanship to reservists with 7th rifle corps at NARTS (naval air rocket test station) prior to that. Was orphaned at birth in 1929. Came out of boot camp a PFC. I suspect he felt he had something to prove. Loved his Corps. Wasn’t a drunk. Best, Ted __________________________________________________________ I was the kid in the backseat of the Olds, moving to a new assignment/duty station.

He get over to ‘nam? ______________________________ And you decided to go the Teamster route, eh? Yea, he did, in unusual fashion. Detached with the Coast Guard, prior to the beginning of festivities. The Coasties were sounding the rivers, and started taking fire from the commies. The cutters were unarmed. They tried a mortar on the bow, but, figured out right away that it didn’t work as well as a jarhead with a rifle on each end of the boat. Short deployment, 12 weeks, I think. He didn’t talk about it. Wasn’t supposed to. Dad really didn’t want his kids in the service. Said he did enough for all of us, and told me to find a job where I wasn’t doing a mental cost/benefit analysis of my career choice, with bullets wizzing past me. Teamsters kept me out of that. Best, Ted ___________________________________________________________ Kept me out of bungholes like Adak and Detroit, too.
