Ironically, education was my "issue" with the military. I was told that I would be sent OCS to finish my last year of college and then to law school. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that if it ain't in writing, it ain't worth the breath they used to say it. I almost wish I had finished my last two years and skipped law school!

I had a similar experience, offered SeaBees and ordered to Gunner's Mate "A" School when 90% of all graduates were going straight to 'Nam.

Interestingly enough I was offered OCS later, a firm written offer, but predicated on a 6 year extension of enlistment. I turned them down.

Looked all over my 214 and can't find a separation code, just RE1, which is a recommendation to re-enlist. Have 214s changed that much over the years? When I was in "Honorable" was Honorable with no conditions attached and "General under honorable conditions" was the one with conditions attached.

I also never got a couple of promised decorations, including a "Good Conduct" medal, but they haven't cost me anything in the long run, and I knew they wouldn't as a career telephone man, so I didn't and don't much care.
