One of the things I really enjoyed while serving, was to get to know some great Afro Americans. (They would rather be called black people.)
There were some during Basic Training, but we were too exhausted to get to know each other. We trained and slept.
During my training at FT Gordon, GA. I met a black man who was an instant friend. He had a mustache, and smoked a pipe during off time. We had some great discussions in the barracks, about racism, etc.
While in Korea I met specialist Jackson. He was black and looked like a linebacker.
One day he and a buddy of his come strolling in to my Quesant hut (Barricks) I was just unloading my gear. It was my first day at Camp Red Cloud.
I thought this may be pick on the new guy time so I was very nervous.
I was very wrong. They both shook my hand and welcomed me to Camp Red Cloud. I became instant friends with both of them. (They were big and strong. Can’t hurt having them on your side.)
Those same guys took me to the base bar. Bad things happened. there.
You will have to read my book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life, to find out what happen.
