Joining the army

I was working, where I was working at the time was breaking wild horses for five dollars a month and my board. That’s not very much. And the army was $1.30 a day with food and clothing all thrown in. So when I went in, they put me to be a driving instructor because a lot of young guys had never, coming out of the Depression, nobody had a car or a truck. Some of them had drove a tractor in the fields and so on, but I went on as a driving instructor for a while.
