Yes, after graduating from Harvard, Al Gore, Jr. enlisted in the Army and did his basic training at Ft. Dix in 1969 with a later posting to VN in 1971, following an assignment at Ft. Rucker, Alabama.Fort Dix.
Interestingly at his wedding in 1970, he wore his Army formal dress blues (he was enlisted). He was later a Senator, following in his father's footsteps, and was Bill Clinton's Vice President. Almost defeated George W. Bush in a close election in 2000 (drat those hanging chads in Florida). Also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Not bad for a former enlisted man.
A lot of history I had forgotten.
