I entered the Navy in 1967 and went to IBM 029 school in San Jose sometime in 1968. And I also took a 1401 SPS/Autocoder course at UC Davis that year. A few years later I learned BAL on a 360 and they still had 026 keypunch machines. I assume they were leased machines, so the lease price came down fast towards EOL. Then they got spray painted and leased in Africa and So. America.
