[QUOTE="iceeater1969, post: 975519, member: 1237"] In 69 i accepted reserve army commission instead of regular army commission. Reserve required 2 years service followed by 4 years reserve. Regular commission required 4 years service. ROTC paid some amount for last 2 years. After delay in call up i served 7 months in states then 11 months in Vietnam. When nixon was DOING A REDUCTION IN SERVICE he gave a 3 month credit for Vietnam and if it put u below 3 month remaining in commitment- u were OUT. Got the Call, Helicopter on way, fly to Da Nang, foot locker was already shipped, told get on your magic carpet home. Served 1 year 6 month and 8 days w no reserve. Had dirt all over me when i caught fl flight to texas. Everyone was very nice Except for the hell, i liked freedom and responsibility of a field officer in vietnam. Without ROTC $$ couldn't have paid my way thru gt. After Gt and Nam, everything has been piece of cake. Sorry for the veteran side track on this vital thread [/QUOTE]
