Peter Callovi
Korea
| 716th Military Police Battalion, 25th Infantry Division
Callovi's role as Military Policeman comes with its perks, but also leads to some awkward experiences - with GIs and Generals alike. (5:31)
While stationed in Korea, Callovi experiences combat bureaucracy, bitter cold and a close call with a stealthy enemy. An attachment of Turkish soldiers proves to be a little too comfortable with the butchery of war. (6:09)
A medical condition requires Callovi to seek surgery in Japan, where he works and plays during recovery. He navigates the complications of becoming romantically involved with the locals. (5:33)
Upon his release, Callovi is offered a job in Japan. His girlfriend (and future wife) denies his request to stay, establishing an understanding that would last throughout his career: Judy knows best. (3:39)
Callovi's military experience provides lessons about work ethic and tolerance. He holds no animosity to his former enemy, and offers sage advice to young enlistees. (3:41)
