I hit Ft. Benning in July 1969 for OCS.  Opted to not finish but ended
out staying there for a bit longer.  My class was over 50% VietNam vets
and about 10% SF.  I learned a lot more from them than I did in the
classroom.  Always liked the area and am considering it as my final
move as I come nearer and nearer to retirement.  Although it has changed
just a bit since then.  :-)
