At the time he just wanted the whole thing to be over, but after he got back from Veit-Nam he did some serious thinking and decided to re-up. He even asked to go back but he was sent to Germany for a few months and then would up teaching aircraft mechanics.

Today he is a tech person with a major airline.

And what I think is weird is that while he can repair the most complex piece of aircraft equipment he is still confused when it comes to basic auto repair.
