OK. NAVY strike force. Primary reason I went to the Army. Wore army green for so long I decided I might as well join them if I was operating on dirt all the time. Commissioned in MI.

Upon arrival at Nav HQ the personnelman looked at my orders and turned around to his typewriter and started typing. ??? Handed me further orders "travel anywhere in SE Asia as directed, authorized Pri II travel, authorized to carry any weapons necessary to complete assignment." I looked at that and gulped. What did I do to deserve this?
