    My father's unit in Orleans, Franceicon started receiving M14s in 1962 and they were not combat units.
    I remember him talking about firing one and how on automatic, it climbed up and above his head. My father was infantry but was assigned to Orleans, France because of a a family tragedy in Germanyicon. The Army was reassigning us to remove the family from the site of the tragedy.
