Like
most other males during the Vietnam War, in 1967 I faced the decision
of what to do after I had completed my MBA at the University of Miami
(FL). Essentially, I had a choice of continuing my education, volunteering
for one of the military services, or being DRAFTED into the Army! Based
upon my having earned all “A’s” (except for one “B”)
at the University of Miami, I was offered a full scholarship to work
on my Ph.D. in Business Administration while teaching part-time at the
university. This option would have probably enabled me to avoid military
service. However, while I had no interest in a military career at that
time, I honestly felt that I should fulfill my military commitments
to my country. Becoming a Supply Corps Officer in the US Navy promised
to offer me an excellent opportunity to use my formal education while
gaining valuable ‘hands-on’ training and experience.
