Often the most unlikely circumstances can lead us to our destiny and for Doug Kaufmann, that may have very well been the case. Drafted out of college in 1968, Kaufmann set out for boot camp in San Diego and spent time in medical training, much like a nurse would go through, and then set out for Vietnam as a hospital corpsman. Kaufmann served from 1970-1971 and then returned home sick, frustrated and needing answers.
