| | Life with John - Awards |
 | | Over three years' time I worked my up from a Private, part of a mortar crew, to a Sergeant leading the Fire Direction Center, which communicated with the observers, computed the firing solutions, and gave the firing commands to the platoon. |
 | | I enjoyed my stint in the infantry with the mortars, but after three years and nothing but a Good Conduct Medal to show for it, I decided I'd had enough of the Army for the time being, and got out to go to college. |
 | | After the hostilities ended, I turned over my battery's equipment to another unit in Saudi Arabia and took the battery back to Germany, where it, along with the rest of my battalion, was inactivated in 1991. |
