I was an 05H20, after basic, diverted to 05K20. Super environment, LTC Millet was the school Commanding Officer then, so you can tell it was along time ago(65-66). I was on hold for OCS, so i missed out pn a first assignment to Japan. Morse code is easy to learn, if they stiil use it for training.

1972: The Army sends a group of students to attend the Navy Communications Training Center (NAVCOMTRACEN) at Pensacola. Then we went to Fort Devens for Target Orientation and Training (TAOT). We found that most of us received somewhat better training than other ASA types.
