My buddy became an 11H, and I so grateful I wasn't an 11C. I saw them rucking the baseplate for an 81mm, my back hurt just watching them. I ended up as 11B10C2, a Dragon Anti-Tank gunner(many moons ago.)

I put Germany on my Dream Sheet, since I am half German and took German in high school. For my overseas post....they sent me to Hawaii. If I put down I was Hawaiian and wanted Hawaii, the Army would have sent to Alaska or Panama.
