My name is Claudio Calvo.

I was with the United States Marine Corps from 1968 to 1971.

I was a Radio Telegraph Operator.

I was deployed to the Republic of South Vietnam in 1969.

I was with the 3rd Marine Division, 3rd Tanks Battalion

in the Northern I Corps near the DMZ, in Quang Tri province.

I returned home in 1970, and at that point, I became

an instructor for the field radar operators and typing.

It was teaching Marines to type on a mill, which is all

uppercase, so that when they take a telegraph, they typed it.

It was faster than writing it down.
