I tried that. Didn't work. The Army had a lot of radio and telecom
equipment that needed fixing. They did try to get me to go to OCS, but
I wasn't stupid enough to accept. I milked the invitation for all it
was worth, though. The CO of my Basic company was an OCS graduate so I
got to spend time the other guys spent doing pushups in his office
listening to his sales pitch. Eventually he caught on.
