I guess you're lucky (?)
My father was in about the same time.
He was probably still in basic at that time.
As far as I know from what little my mother
told me over the years, he was at Ft Benning,
then to some other place that he didn't
specify ( I've always thought Nevada)
then to Hawaii around 1952.
I do know that he was at Marshall Islands
Bikini/ Enewetak for the Ivy tests.
My mother told me some about that, and
I have his citation (?) for his service from
General so-and-so for his service.
He started getting sickly sometime
in the late 60's, and was pretty bad by
the 70's. I'm not sure why it took so long
to diagnose, but by the time they did,
they had to practically gut him, and
not long after they figured out that he
had cancer all over his body and everywhere.
My mother had talked to me some about
how they were trying to get a laetrile
treatment, but the doctor was shut down
in midstream and some of the other doctors
were taken away by (?) gubmint people.
From the way she described it, the
Unibomber was arrested with more courtesy
and pleasantries than the medical people
were. I don't know myself. I do know that
the people that were advocating Ivermectin
this last go round were shut down way
slower than the laetrile people.
I haven't heard anybody even mention
that in over 50 years
