I joined the Army after highschool, broke my elbow in basic training, developed some nerve problems in that elbow, then got discharged (honorable) as a disabled vet before I ever got stationed. Does that count?

Yort,
I traveled alot in Korea do not remember Camp Stanton, where is that at?
About 4 miles back from the D I think, near Yonjagol. Used to keep choppers there until NK put a shell on the runway. Moved the choppers down south and put 2 ADA batterys to protect it.

Back then, the ADA was Redeye, Stinger, Vulcan and Chaparral. I was a radar unit (FAAR) mounted on a Gamma Goat.
