There was no room for us at Fort Ord, California, so they loaded us on busses and sent us across the country to a place called Fort Polk, Louisiana.
It was there they would try to turn a bunch of civilians into members of the world's most powerful military.
The Army had quite a job in front them.

I thought I had a good idea of what my first day in the Army would be like.

01 Baby Boomers Wanted
There was this war going on and the country realized they needed soldiers ... lots and lots of soldiers.

00 Introduction to the podcast.
About a half century ago, there was a war on the other side of the planet. My country needed men to fight that war, so the politicians looked around and there we were -- the Baby Boomers.
Some volunteered but most were drafted.
Even though fighting in a war had not been big on our list of things to do in life, a lot of us got to experience it.
And there were lessons to be learned. Lots and lots of lessons.
That's what this podcast is about ... the lessons I learned about a half century ago while serving in the United States Army.
