Best Moment Skiing in the Alps at Obersalzburg.
Worst Moment The notorious Khrushchev shoe-banging incident which occurred during a UN debate on October 11 1960. Infuriated by a statement of the Filipino delegate, Khrushchev accused Mr. Sumulong of being "a jerk, a stooge and a lackey of imperialism". Later Mr. Khrushchev pulled off his right shoe, brandished it at the Philippine delegate on the other side of the hall and banged the shoe on his desk.
We went on full alert and moved to the border expecting the worst.
Chain of Command 7th Army, 4th Armored Division, 46th Med Bn, Company A
Other Memories 4th AD NCO Academy, Neu-Ulm Germany 24th Inf Div Medical Leaders Academy, Augsburg Germany 4th AD Division Trains Rifle team. Couldn't hit my ass with both hands and a scoop shovel, but they needed shooters from the non-combat arms units.
I was actually a SP-4 (E-4) at the time,with an MOS of 911.17 but this web site does not allow for other service rank/MOS structure.
