My grandfather and father were farmers, but I went into the army and made a career of it. Back in 1965 and 1966 with the build up for Viet Nam you couldn't get a good job in my area unless you were in the Reserves or National Guard which was nearly impossible to get into.After the army I worked as a civil service employee for the state of Tennessee. I would have liked to have been a farmer but the cost of land and equipment was and is prohibitive to most people.
