I entered the Navy right off the farm in late spring so I neither gained or 
lost, not the story since.

I was another,  I joined the Navy to get away from a drunken, womanizing 
father and to learn electronics.  I succeeded in doing both and later the 
G.I. Bill paid for college.  I am now in that town and visited the farm 
today and I am very glad I got away from here when I did.
