The Sullivan's died on the USS Juneau. BTW, the Sullivan law is a myth in that there is a policy which is supposed to divide up siblings, but it is not an absolute restriction.
Both of my older brothers and I were in the Army at the same time, and my eldest brother and I were assigned to the same company in ROK in the early 70's, back when you could still draw hostile fire pay. No special permission was needed-I was supposed to go to A company and he was already assigned to B company, and a mere request at the AG was all it took.
MicroBalrog-wishing you the best of times in Basic as well as your military career, however long it is. One thing is for certain-you will never forget your time in basic training. That, I promise! My son reports for Army basic training August 8th-he turns 18 on the 5th of August, and has enlisted to be a medical corpsman with the idea that he will become a respiratory therapist. About time SOMEBODY in my ancestry used their government service time to learn a profession worth something on the outside!
