He spent two years in the US Army during the Korean Conflict serving with Occupational Forces in Germany. In February, 1954, after two years active duty with eighteen months overseas, Ernie was transferred to the Reserve and received an honorable discharge with the rank of Corporal in 1960. His employment at GE lasted 34 years before retiring.
