By Skip Vaughn, Redstone Rocket
While attending the University of New Haven in the summer of 1969, John Perry was curious to see what the antiwar demonstrations he saw on television were really like. So he went to watch a demonstration at the Yale campus in New Haven, Con- necticut. But the engineering student’s curiosity ended abruptly when law enforcement used teargas to disperse the crowd and he happened to be downwind. “That was the first time I got teargased,” he said laughing. “I went back to my car and got out of there.” In 1970 Perry received his draft notice at home in Norwich, Connecticut. He was feeling burnt out in his fifth year of school anyway so he was ready to try something different. He originally intended to become a Navy pilot but he got turned down be- cause of a hearing problem in his left ear. So he went home, received his draft notice and joined the Army that June. He spent three years with the 56th Brigade (Pershing), 4th Battalion, 41st Field Artillery in Schwabisch Gmund, Germany. He was a Pershing missile guidance and control repairman. Before leaving for Germany, he heard from his maternal uncle John Szablinski, who had served as a bomber gunner in World War II. Szablinski, who died years ago, told Perry to visit the Munich train station because he had put a bomb through its roof in the war. Perry arrived at Redstone in November 1974 at the then Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School. Buildings still showed damage from Huntsville’s dev- astating tornadoes that April. He was an instructor at Toftoy Hall. “The buildings were in sad shape. That was after the tornadoes,” Perry said. “On John Perry, Vice President for Guard and Reserve Affairs for the Association of top of that, we no sooner moved in and we had like 12 inches of snow.
