  Boot from March of 64 until June.  ET-A School from August until May of 65.  Used to get into trouble with MAA's when our A school company played tackle football on the front lawn of the old wooden barracks with a rolled towel for the ball against the company billeted at the other end of the barrack.  Got lots of exercise and went to the EM club for refueling afterwards.

  Spent the better part of a year at ET "A" school 1954-1955. Sang with the Blue Jackets Choir and Shared a barracks with members of the band and Choir. It was an enjoyable time. Lots of good Jazz.

  I enlisted August 26, 1965 and was at Great Lakes for training for a reduced amount of weeks due to the amount of recruits being trained there due to the build up of the war in Vietnam. I was in Company 426. We had a first class machinists mate as company commander. It has been a long time but I think he was from Alabama and his last name was Freese. There were so many recruits there at that time that we had to use the old barracks at camp Barry and the water in the showers came out rusty. I also was at camp Moffett. From there I went to Arlington, Virginia.

  Attended ET A School here from about March to November 1977. I can still picture the faces of some of my classmates but the names have been gone for a long time.
