James F. Bachtel CTO2 1968-1971 I was chasing an old girlfriend from Massillon, Ohio,,, Her sister was married to an officer in the Pentagon,,, and I was told,, that to get to DC,, that I had to be in the (Security Group). At the time,,, being a dumb civilian,,, I figured that meant military police,, wrong ans,,, The detailer at Great Lakes had to dig out the book,,, to find out (whom) was in the security group,,,, He came up with various and numerous CT ratings,,, I finally decided to pick O branch,,, as it was in Pensacola, Fla,,, and I was freezing at Lakes,,jan-feb of 68. When I got my first choice of A school,,, I called my Dad at home and told him I was going to be a CT.. Never forget his words on the phone,,,, DANG,, a ship called the Pueblo was just captured by Koreans,,, and it was full of CT's.. It was then that I began to wonder exactly what I was getting into,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Jim
