There has been some talk of men who wanted combat but due to "timing" or "luck"
they missed out. Well if you are in a unit that won't get into the fight, just
try this. Go to your CO and say," Sir, I hear the 344th is moving out to the
ETO. I want to go with them. Here is my transfer request. Please sign it". He
will immediately. After he signs it walk it through and you will go into battle
with the 344th. Or of course you can just keep a low profille , keep your mouth
shut, do nothing, then for the rest of your life you can always say " I wanted
combat but timing and luck kept me out" and see if you can live with that.
