Joe,

You have to remember, back in the Forties, we couldn't vote until we
were 21. We were still Minors. We were taken into the reserves for the
duration or until we were 21; which ever came first. Then we had to
re-up:--- Regulars or reserves.

Interesting..I joined at 16-17 too. No such thing as a Minorty cruise
existed, must be a time of war thing. I could not vote yet . But if on
base you did not need ID to drink, off base it was 21 YO at the time. I
think everone in the military should be able to vote and drink anywere
no-matter thier age.

Once we were in we were assigned duties like anyone else.
