He served two years as an Army electronics technician in the Seattle, WA area, where he also had the opportunity to participate in intramural bowling and refine his game while winning multiple All-Army championships.

In the title match, Voss and challenger Pete McCordic tied after the standard 10 frames with an unusually low score of 176.
