Jack Lovato
Post 9676 Webmaster - Army

I joined the U.S. Army in January 1968 and terminated my tour of duty in January 1971. I received my Basic Training at Fort Bliss, TX.  Starting in March 1968, I began my Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Fort Monmouth, NJ.  I was trained as a Mobile Equipment High Frequency Radio Repairman.  In September 1968, I was sent to my first duty station, at Ft. Carson, CO.  I then landed up in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam in January 1970.  My first 30 day in Vietnam was spent at Long Binh Army Post re-training on Microwave Radio Equipment.  I spent one year in Vietnam, mostly at a Microwave Radio Site in Chu Lai.  I returned stateside in January 1970 and spent my last 11 months in service at Ft. Huachuca, AZ.  I left military service as a Specialist 5 in January 1971.  I then moved from New Mexico to El Paso, TX and in May 1979, I finally received my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, with a concentration in Accounting from the University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP).  I moved back permanently to New Mexico in 1983.
