In 1963 I went on active duty as an E3 in the SeaBees. After builders school in Oxnard, I did two years duty at Barbers Point in Hawaii. I made $99/mo. when I went in and only $228 as an E5 whent I got an early out to enter Ohio State. The GI Bill paid for my school and I stayed in the reserves. I was a Chief E7 when I finally left because my unit no longer had a billet for me. I rebuilt VW bugs and buses all the way through school and bought my son a bug to fix up that was made the same month and year (10/72) that he was born when he was 16. We put a 1776 cc with dual Kadrons in it and we had it running great when he sold it to buy a GTI 3 years later.
