    Sierra Hotel!

    It warms my heart to see my home state of Montana number one in enlisted to population.

    I went in in 73, with a lottery number in the three hundreds(class of ’72). I did it to get out of a town where the only way you got on the BN was to have relatives already there. And I wanted to see the world and I got that part in spades!

    Why are there proportionately more Southerners in our military? As a Tarheel, I would suggest that it is because of good, old-fashioned local values like chivalry, religion, ancestor worship, and militarism. What do others think? [Note: My middle-class family has been in the South since the mid-1700s and has had at least one military man per generation--looking back, I deeply regret that I was not one of them.]
