Oh yes!
I forgot to mention that I volunteered for Infantry OCS after 4 years of college ROTC. I was sent overseas as an infantry replacement officer to the 7th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division on the Anzio Beachhead. I fought in 6 campaigns in Italy, France and Germany, plus 6 months of occupation duty in Germany. I spent two years overseas and was separated from the service (to the inactive reserve) in January 1946.
I went to work for the Curtiss-Wright Corp in 1946, went to N.J. Institute of Technology nights to get my M.S. degree in Management Engineering in 1954. I retired in 1954 as Director of Administration, moved to Florida in 1981 and am still "hanging in there" at age 84.
