34B. Tabulating Equipment Repair
Graduated from 34B, IBM Card Processing Equipment, plus the UNIVAC 1004/5 Computer System, after a few months, in training to become an Instructor, on 34B gear, I was offered the 34F, 'Digital Subscriber Equipment Repair Course' this was in a crude way the, 'fore runner' of the Internet. I graduated from the 34F Course and I was told that I can expect to be sent to NAM. Now-Now! I wasn't a US Citizen yet! No problem! With two of my fellow Techs, in 'Class A's went to the US DISTRICT Court in Newark, NJ. What we have seen there was , like a WW2 Movie set, parts of the city was destroyed, we went right after the riots. I was presented to a Judge, repeated the oath after him and with my two witnesses it was done in less than 15 minutes, I BECAME a CITIZEN! Now NAM was in the cards!
