I enlisted in 1974. I had thought of doing it earlier, but my older brother, an O-3 who had served in Vietnam two tours, talked me out of it. When I was in MP school at Ft Gordon, they were looking for MP volunteers for Saigon, etc. I was married by then and had a kid already. My wife vetoed it this time. The closet I came was Oakland army Base guarding crap returning, including some long, silver, boxes of remains, non-viewable. Thanks to all you who served. I have my own nightmares from 20+ years of law enforcement, getting shot at, and of stuffing body bags from doing homicide and coroner investigations, and child rape investigations. The things people do to each other (including war) is beyond belief.
