Wh a t~ d i d they t hin· of what they were doing , going down t here. AC h, we laugh;ed a lot about it. Which ~s probably because we were young-- I had my 21st brithday down ~here at Nogalas. Andnnst of the boys were loc a l boy s here. They were high school boys and friends of t h e o fficers that got t hem to join the Natinal Guard . But, t here wasno - no fear of war there. The only far was that i ¥ou s nuck across t hemrder and got caught, why you were court martial ed. So, .. L What's t he kind of stuff that you'd sneak across the border for? AC Well , f or one thing: liquor. But we were not drinkers . And we d idn 't have any problems that way. It's - ah - See the Nogalas Mexico was a wild place. Wild women, lots of drinking and so on . And of c ourse, alot of soldiers looking for excitement and pleasure, went over thre. But this didn't affect us. Our immediate company. We were a medical unit.In fact, we were a field hospital .. And . than - ]?retty close knit - even, we weremore like a fam~ly most out-fits would be. We knew our officers, who were all doctors. And, we didn't hesitate to talk to any of them about anything that we wanted to. We didn't have to go through -what do you call it - |
