Upon completing his academic work at Dalhousie he enlisted in the U.S. Army with the promise of a commission upon completing basic training. However, during basic training he fell on icy concrete steps and fractured a vertebrae which caused the Army to declare him physically unable to assume the duties of a commissioned officer. He was allowed to complete his enlistment period as an enlisted man, and then was discharged in 1978. Paul has since been teaching various English courses at the college of Staten Island, part of the City University of New York, with a short stint of work with AT&T and Wagner College.
