I got a ruptured disc out in the field lifting generators, which we weren't supposed to do but we were ordered to do. I ended up getting hurt down there the first two months I was down there. I was second in my whole platoon on all the physical tests, on all the firing your M-16 test, and I was slated to go directly to officer candidate school and they sent me to Fort Polk Louisiana instead. And they called me grandma but I was an assistant platoon guide.

Tina M White: Why did you go into the Army?
