gekkogecko---When you're 17/18,you know nothing of a
"Uniform Code of Military Justice".You are a kid and just do
what your elders tell you.If you go to your superiors,superior,
you are asked why you didn't use the"Chain of Command"and
probably got busted in rank.Don't forget the times!(1961-1965)
I had a Tech Sargeants skill level,(5 stripes)when I was still a private(one
stripe)It also happened to two of my buddies.We were told by
our shop chief,not to hang around together,or we wouldn't
make rank.We each told him that as long as we didn't get any
"bad"time,he didn't pick our off duty friends.Every time that we
were awarded a promotion,he would"Red Line"our orders.
Would I do it again?Yes.A friend is a friend!We didn't even
have a"G.I. Bill! Irish
P.S.Most people don't believe the GI Bill statement.Check it out!
