You were about five feet short of a ten feet jump?

I played high school basketball at six feet, then I went to 5-11 in my 50's, and then, bang, I went down to 5-9.

I was a lieutenant in World War II.

I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.

I've been 6 ft. 2 ins. since I was 13.

I joined the Army at 19 as a soldier and spent about four and a half years with them. Then I broke my back in a freefall parachuting accident and spent a year in rehabilitation back in the U.K.

I don't think I could be a foot soldier. I don't know if I could take orders too good. I'm a little lazy.

The ninth grade. I went from 5'9' to 6'8'.

What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.

I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General.
