Following will be dozens of documents and photos covering my dad's ROTC and CMTC training in high school 1928-31, National Guard service from 1930-38, and Army service from 1942-71.

National Guard promotion to Sergeant again 1936

No idea how the promotions worked in the National Guard, but I have numerous documents showing my dad's rank changing quite often. Initial enlistment was for three years, then one year enlistments afterwards. Had to start rank over after each enlistment. CRAZY!!!
