And much of what happened to you could depend on w ho you knew as Gividen learned. very payday, we would stand in line to get the few dollars for duties performed I had most of my money sent home to Mom and Dad. 1 only took out $20. There wasn't anything to spend your money on anyway, so why have it? Not so with the rest of the men. The hottest thing going after payday was the gambling. gam-bling. As soon as the men left the paymaster's office, they headed for the hottest poker game they could find. What game you could participate in depended on your skills at poker. I'd usually just go back to my bunk and read, a behavior the other men thought unusual, unusu-al, especially if 1 was reading my scriptures. Except when payday came, I became a popular man. Each of the men would come to me and say, "I'm going to a poker game and don't want to take all my money with me or I will gamble it way. Will you hold some of it till I return?" After a couple of months of that, 1 found that I was turning into a big banker, at one time holding $500 a lot of money in Korea. Where would I keep it except in my pockets, and how could I guarantee that someone wouldn't try to take it from me? I didn't need problems like that, so I cut off being the banker for the gamblers. I was just about going nuts with boredom when our noncommissioned non-commissioned officer platoon sergeant, Sergeant Presti, was transferred to battalion headquarters. He and I had become good friends, and he was educated and clean-cut. We spent a lot of time talking, talk-ing, especially about what it was like to go to college. Now that I'd seen some of the world, I was more determined deter-mined than ever to get a college col-lege education. Then one day he came to me and asked if I would like ' to be transferred to battalion headquarters and work with him. "Anything is better than what I'm doing now," I replied. I was soon transferred trans-ferred to headquarters to the Troop and Information and Education unit. His and my responsibility was to evaluate every man in the battalion to Strengthen www ataliairyiiun.ca.coitt Editor's note: This is the ninth story in a series about Bert Gividen. Gambling, along with drinking (beer for the enlisted men, hard determine whether that man should remain in Korea. After the evaluation, we began to process 'Convenience to the Army Discharges." Many men in the unit were all but illiterate, or they had scored low on intelligence tests. It was easy to say to them. Take that hill ... Do this ... Do that," but now that the fighting was over, many of these men were Decerning belligerent, hard to deal with, so it was best to get them out of the Army and home, so someone else could look after them. Marry of them had criminal backgrounds. So we began to process them with this special discharge. Of course others thought this was a convenient way to get out of the Army and home, till we told them their discharge papers would not read "Honorable Discharge." They backed off. The battalion commander then deckled that everybody should be busy doing something some-thing educational, rather than just sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. So Sgt. Presti and I set up educational educa-tional programs through the USAFI, so that men could enroll en-roll in some kind of class that would advance them educationally. educa-tionally. We even applied for and received bookmobDe service. ser-vice. We set up high school courses, taught by officers. I myself taught US. history, learning very early just how much I didn't know about it. My last assignment in Korea Ko-rea was teaching 25 Puerto Rkans how to speak English. They were masters of manipulation, manip-ulation, eager to go to school rather than dig trenches or "police the grounds." We got along great once I got them in the classroom, where there was no prejudice. preju-dice. - Our programs were so successful suc-cessful that a reporter from The Stars and Stripes came ' dear from Japan to look into Qur program. His article was sent to the Springville Herald, my hometown newspaper. Next week: Gividen returns to Korea 50 years later to learn that his presence there DID make a difference, however cynical he'd been about Korea when he served there in the military.
