Everett was a farmer in civilian life.
Everett was drafted in 1918 into the Army but never made it as far as basic training. When men were drafted in Iowa, they were initially sent to Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa. Here they would be issued uniforms and learn some drills and other basic Army skills while waiting for their orders to get on the train to basic training.
At the time that Everett got to Camp Dodge, the United States was in the throws of the Spanish flu. The Army was having severe problems in that in moving troops between Army bases, they were spreading the flu. They therefore closed travel out of all bases where the flu was in an effect to contain it.
Camp Dodge was one of the hardest Army bases hit by the flu. No one could leave until the flu was conquered. So Everett and his colleagues spent two months drilling when they weren't sick with the flu or helping with the sick.
By the time the quarantined camp was re-opened, World War I had ended and the recruits were released back to civilian life without having gone off to war.
