My dad was sent to Reutgers University on a crash course, taught Spanish and Italian to be a translator, was slated to go into Italy in the invasion, got so sick from them pulling his teeth, they sent him back Stateside.

Never saw action. Cursed the false teeth all his life, but not the Army. Was very proud when he started collecting his WWII pension; something like $200...was in his 60's...I think it was the early 80's...
