He certainly made the rounds to stay out of the regular army! I think some of his only time out of regiment was at the NCO academy at Benning.
I bumped into him at Bragg when I was in the 18d course. He was talking to his Ranger medics they were all standing at parade rest and I saw him, waved, and I yelled, "hey Sgt Rak...., uh I mean sergeant major!" He mumble something like, "Goddamned Ollie.....grumble grumble" and went on talking to the Rangers.... He was the RSM at the time, I had no idea that he had caught that gig.
