Gil,
I qualify on both counts. I was a Forest Fire Fighter for the California Division of Forestry the fire season of 1964. I joined the Air Force in September of 65, got an early out in February of 69 when they were reducing the number of over 3 airmen that did not want to re-up.
Thank you for your service my friend. People do not realize what a small percentage of our population has ever served in the military.
Pat
