A member of the ROTC program, upon graduation in 1960 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, and served in the Army Medical Service Corps at Fort Sam Houston, Texas where he was the training officer for the only company of "conscientious objectors" in the military. "COs" at that time were comprised of individuals who had a lifetime commitment to pacifism, or religious objections to serving in the military, as well as those who saw this classification as one in which they might escape a military obligation.
