Was in the 287th Aug. 1 1966 -Feb. 7th 1969. Took the duty train to Bremerhaven then onto Malmo , Sweden. Father and his family born in Sweden and I was invited by relatives to come up meet them and visit. Got some bottles of liquor and took them as liquor was expensive in Sweden. Great time. Wish I would of never taken a leave home for 30days and should of taken advantage of a once in a lifetime experience and stayed there. As the years went by I realized that. A couple other guys and me did go to Spain. After getting on the Police Department I remember one of Lt’s also telling a Sgt. they we had some new officers coming on and he told the Police Chief I want anyone with military experience as I can tell them right away. Also sure enjoy the observer and appreciate all that the board and everyone involved does.
