Grew up on a dairy farm, but left the farm to work for the Federal government when finished high school in 1951. My brother joined the Air Force a few days after we graduated and I was drafted 18 months later and I married my high school girlfriend. I was rehired back at my old job since I was furloughed for the draft. Our daughter was born at Ft Bragg when I was with the 82nd Airborne Div.
We tested all those vehicles that the Army used and few firetrucks for the Navy. Some of the vehicles we tested was the M1A1 Tank, M60, M48, M47 Tanks. We also tested lots of trucks. We did the 8 & 16 ton Goers too. One of the trucks was the Gamma Goat. Here's one of the Heavy Field Dynamometer's we used for drawbar and cooling tests. Looking back on it was nice to have a job that you love to go to. I retired after 43 years. Hal PS: If anyone ever saw the movie The Green Beret we also tested the D7 Cat like the one shown in that movie. All this testing was done at Aberdeen Proving Ground MD and is still going on.
