An educated guess would be the pressure to enlist came from the parents! The
thought of what life would be like with him *finally* out of the house must
have been overwhelming.

You can almost picture it: He's back from the Air Force in two months, and not
on leave....but home to stay!


The parents let him stay just long enough to find his own place.....a LONG
