While I was in basic training, the military tried to get me to enlist in officer's training as I had a high I.Q. and was all ready working in computer systems, such as they might have been in 1963!  I found out by subterfuge, that I was going to be stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco as a Supervisor in the Computer Center!  This was the plum location to be assigned to as everyone will tell you. Let's see, training to obey orders from upper management or be a manager of a computer complex.  I don't think so!  I was only going to be a short timer, two years, so no officers training.  The first Sergeant grilled me on the last day of basic training, he drove me all over the base in his new Cadillac and finally realized I knew all along I was going to San Francisco!  He had to laugh at my craftiness!
