I joined the Army to go to war in Vietnam because my uncles and father served in WW2. I chose armor as my M.O.S. I was trained on the M-60-A1 tanks. I qualified expert in tank weapons. My M.O.S. was 11-E-30 tanks gunner. The flamethrower platoon was made up of tankers. We were tankers in the middle of an infantry unit. I volunteered to be the 50 gunner on the flamethrower track.
