When I decided to return to college I was living in Michigan in a town called Kalamazoo. There is
a college there called Western Michigan University that has an engineering program as well as an aviation program. I lived in the dorms for a year so I didn't have to cook and could get my act together for studying again. After a year, it was time to move. I cruised the Student Services bldg. and found a Veteran who was advertising for a roommate. He had an 80 foot two bedroom trailer in a trailer court called El Rancho but everyone called it El Ranche! El Ranche was just down the hill from a great bar call "Wayside West". The vets name was "Fred" and he had been an Army interrogater in Vietnam. He was 6'9" tall and weighed in at 325, (All muscle). The VC in Nam were scared sh**less of him! "Fred" had lived next to this older guy, who was divorced and who owned a 67 corvette. He was using the corvette to hustle the young girls into bed but had recently acquired a live-in girlfriend named "Debbie". Our gal "Debbie" liked to sun bathe topless behind the trailer on sunny days. We called the older guy "Zero" as he liked his sex rough. More than once in the night you could hear "Debbie" yelling and "Zero" beating her A$$. "Fred" did not care much for "Zero" and neither did I. Winter went by and Spring was almost over and "Sun Bathing" time was about to start. One night "Fred" and I hear the uproar from next door and figure the "Debbie" is getting her A$$ kicked again before the sex starts for the night. "Fred" is watching the TV on the couch and I am fixing dinner as it is my turn on KP. We hear this bang, there is a blur flying across the parking lot, and the next thing I know the door flies open and "Debbie" is on the floor of our trailer with no top and just her panties. "Help Me!" she says. The "Zero" had been right behind her but he stopped at the screen door to the trailer. I go to the door to see what the He** is going on. The "Zero" has his hand on the door and is looking at "Debbie" and me. I am only 6' tall and went 205 at that time so he thinks that he can get by me. He yanks open the trailer screen door. "Debbie" heads down the hallway to a bedroom, and I step aside. The "Zero" figured I would put up a fight so he is a little confused but he kept coming. He rounds the corner and runs into "Fred". "Fred" grabs him by the throat and lifts him off the ground and the interrogation starts! "Why are you in my trailer?, Who gave you permission to be in my trailer", Do you know what I do to people who come into my trailer without permission?, etc". Mr "Zero" is turning green and not looking very good but "Fred" knows what he is doing. He gives him a few more seconds and turns him loose with the warning that "if he beats on "Debbie" again he will break his leg". Now here comes the kicker, "Debbie" feels sorry for "Zero" and leaves our trailer to help him get his SH** back together. Things are calm for a few weeks. One weekend I head to my uncle's home (Pontiac dealer). When I come back on Sunday night, who do I see but the "Zero" walking on crutches. It appears that he did not take "Fred's" warning as seriously as he should have and had a little accident. Now "Zero" has no money to pay his doctor bills but he does have a 1966 convertible GTO body from Ft Meyers, Florida that suddenly he wants to sell. I gave him $600.00 for the body and the GTO was mine. I later sold the car to a Vietnam Veteran who had to sell his car when he went off to war. I sold it for just what I paid "Zero".

Bigpop, as with all things in the military, then and now, if there is a need, there is a way. Obviously, the Army saw a demand for someone of Fred's size and demeanor and sounds like they used to him to their advantage.

It probably is no surprise to some that there are
several "Fred" type people that did or do work for the Army as interrogaters. I believe that one was killed up north in Afganistan recently. I don't believe that he was a regular member of the armed services either. Tom
