Terry W. Baer
Class of 1974
Army, 7 Years
I served 7 years on active duty and another 6 years in the National Guard and Army Reserves. I was in three branches, Quartermaster, Field Artillery and Signal. Supply and Small Arms Repairer, FIST and Nuclear Surety Security, Computer Repairer. I was stationed at Ft. Polk, LA, Ft. Lee, VA (1974), Ft. Sill, OK , Ft. Carson, CO (1975-1976), Wiesbaden Air Base, FRG (1976-1980), Ft. Gordon, GA (1980-1981). After a 17 year break in service I re-enlisted into the ARNG for 6 months and then transferred to the Army Reserves for the remainder of my enlistment. I was stationed at Ft Baker, CA, Camp Parks, CA, Ft. Hunter-Ligget, CA, RFTA Nashville and RFTA Gray, TN. I separated all of my enlistments honorably and I separated as a Sergeant (E-5). I was schooled trained in 4 different military occupational specialties, plus 4 more awarded by OJE which I was able to apply to my civilian work career. Overall it was a great experience despite the injuries and the usual hardships. I thank all of my fellow alumni veterans. Thank you for your service. May God bless America.
