Marc Cullison, author of The Other Vietnam War - A Helicopter Pilot's Life in Vietnam, currently on Amazon's Top 20 List of biographies about the Vietnam War, is a baby-boomer who grew up in an era when education was everything and duty to country was a responsibility. After receiving a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering at Oklahoma State University, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Unites States Reserve Corps of Engineers through the ROTC program. During his four-year tour of duty, he served as a helicopter pilot with the 129th Assault Helicopter Company in II Corps, Vietnam, in 1971. He returned from overseas to an assignment as a military assistant to the resident engineer at Kaw Dam and Reservoir near Ponca City, Oklahoma, and met the woman he would marry. After two years in Ponca City he was honorably discharged and returned to Oklahoma State where he received a master's degree in architectural engineering and honed his technical skills as a professional structural engineer. Then a position in quality control at a manufacturing plant finally led him into computer programming. His most recent career was as a math and science instructor at Conners State University in Warner and Muskogee, Oklahoma, from which he retired in 2014 See less
