About this ebook

The Life and Times of Lady Luck is a series of short stories based on actual events I encountered during my military career. I have written these stories as fiction because actual units, dates, times, places, and sometimes even close friends names have long since departed the active gray matter of my brain and moved in with the retired gooey gray matter of yesteryear. Some of the stories are humorous while others are tragic. Everyone who has been in the military, especially a combat unitno matter what war, police action, or conflictwill be able to relate to some of these stories.

The Life and Times of Lady Luck
Author

Capt. Ronald C. Mills

I had twenty six years total military service. My first ten years was as an enlisted man. Starting as a very young and naïve seventeen year old navy recruit and finishing my enlisted time as a combat engineer platoon sergeant. In 1962 I completed Special Forces training and was assigned to Seventh Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1967. I served three tours of duty in Vietnam, twice as an enlisted man and once as an officer. Some of my more memorable assignments were as a military advisor with the so called NON-COMBATANT units under MACV, prior to the country’s status being changed to a combat zone in 1965. After my last out of country assignment, I was the S-3 Operations and Intelligence staff officer, support command, 172nd Light Infantry Brigade, Fort Richardson, Alaska. My last active duty assignment was as the senior advisor for USAR Alaska.
