Retored usmc grunt

greetings, for some reason i never got around to this. Name is Ira Jones, reside in coastal North Carolina. Grew up in Chicago land and enlisted shortly after Jack Kennedy killed. Was infantry until Company Cdr called me in and said "Cpl Jones, I understand you have a ham radio license. How come you never told anyone," "I replied no one asked"..... He says "when did you get it and take all the tests?" I told him did it when i was 12. "HE SEZ YOU ARE NOW MY RADIO OPERATOR" "I said oh joy(to myself of course" so at that point they kept sending me to schools and such. so a comm guy I became
