Drafted into U.S.Army July of 1966. Eight weeks basic at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, AIT in first class of MPs trained at FLW, and permanent duty with the 208th MP Company at FLW. Discharged via early out to go into civilian police work in May of 1968.

My favorite was working the information booth at the Main Gate. There I greeted visitors to the post, answered their questions, and gave them maps directing them to little Johnny's unit so they could attend his graduation or visit him.
