We were paid a stipend of $30 a week, lived in the university dorm, wore khaki shirts with jeans and boots all military and required hard hats. We also earned 6 hours of college credit.

Sorry for the long answer-thanks for asking.

Ks-

Outstanding!
That sounds very similar to the CCC and I was hoping that it was.

I hope that you had lots of fun and made wonderful memories.

Thank you for your civil service.

Awesome, thank you.

I worked in civil service during college. A different branch but it was a wonderful experience. I worked on behalf of endangered species. That worked out well for me because I spent the next 20 plus years of my career working on behalf of endangered species.

Lovely experiences.
