Joined the New York Army National Guard as Full time Tech or in Navy, known as TAR Program in 1962. Was a Missile man Elevation in Nike/Ajax Missiles unit located in Long Beach New York and Launch sites in Lido Beach New York. A good example of what someone in a personnel section can do to your background. A fellow did not like me at all, reason unknown, he put me down as a dog handler. In any case, was on duty when JFK demanded that Cuba get rid of missiles. We did very well despite that our unit was down for repair and we were short of men. None of us ever received commendations from either the state or federal goverenment.
