Veterans On the Board

1970-1976 US Army National Guard, 40th Armored Brigrade, Co. C (Bell, CA) and Co. A (Compton, CA). Both basic training and AIT at Ft. Polk, LA, in early '71. Served all of my summer annual trainings at the garden spot of the Mojave desert, beautiful Ft. Irwin, CA (the only 'green' seen there were the uniforms).
My Compton time in those years should have qualified me for combat pay.
