THE ELUSIVE G.I.

After two forced pictures in basic training and other than one I purposely posed in, looking mean and with several guns, I refused to have my picture taken in Army uniform.  This was mainly difficult in South Korea, where photographers were haunting us, taking photos for the 833rd Ordnance Company 1970 yearbook.

I had been sitting with my friends, Alex, Ray and Milt, but when I saw the photographer coming,
I left him only my empty chair.

Another day I wasn't so lucky.  I saw the photographer out of the corner of my eye
just before he snapped the picture.  All I could do was quickly turn away.

Then the sneaky picture taker actually came into the barracks.

Can you find me in this picture?

That's my arm back there.  Peace.
