ARMY DAYS XXV

back in harness in denver and bored out of my mind.  the pinball machines at the base drained my meager army pay.  my group was getting ready to be sent to our permanent assignments.  at this time our services were needed in japan and korea where our casualties from the harry-truman-korean-bastard war were.  most of the group was going to japan.





meanwhile my mom was harassing my draft board or someone, whatever, that she needed me at home.  she could really get on your case when motivated - a pitbull mentality.  within the next four weeks i was freed from the service.  i was not against being discharged.  on the downside, i would never find out whether what they say about japanese ladies is true.
