The buddy system was a creative way to get more recruits. I was an early volunteer just after they eliminated the draft. I pissed off a lot of families because of me they lost their boys to the military. I had planned to go into the military after high school. The Air Force was always my first choice because I love everything about aircraft. The Army, Marines and Air Force all had recruiting offices on the same floor. The Air Force recruiter was the last office all the way down the hall. 4 of my budies joined the Air Force. 2 stopped into the Marine recruiter to have a chat with him and joined. Our mothers are on the back row. I'm on the left. My buddy Jay is next to me, then Gary, and Paul is on the right. These were the Air Force boys gathering and soon to depart. |
