Things changed obviously in the late 60s at Bragg. There was a surplus of SF by then - all piling up on Smoke Bomb Hill. Too many NCOs with nothing much to do - so they had to be creative with finding us details. We were farmed out to just about anyone that wanted a warm body, for anything imaginable.
I fortunately finally escaped from Bragg - and successfully avoided a PCS there from then on.
