A guy from IV3, friendly, good guy, but as most of the folks from there I didn't catch much chance to know him better.
Ended up, as was almost normal for railroad children, as an army officer - hey, you get to finish real college on state food, lodging and books (tuition didn't exist, unless, in this case, you didn't work off at least as many years as your schooling took), and when you work it off you can always switch to civilian service. Yeah right, but you're always in the reserve and, besides, what civilian jobs are there for rocket launchers?
He died in 2005. Have no clue as to how and why, but then being an officer through the nineties must have been exhausting and generally devastating, even in the peaceful service he had in Macedonia, and then the naughts couldn't have been much better.
