I never made capn

Post by jimboloco » December 7th, 2004, 2:11 pm

I never made capn.....my last officer eval read, "The leiutenant is concentrating so much on disruption that his military duites are lacking."

Alas, I lost in on the road. It was stashed in my uncle's garage and he tried to send it to me with my box es of drawings and memorabilia, circa 1981, but I'd moved suddenly without noticw, bivouacked in the New Hampshire woods against an old stone wall, visions of hooded Druids in the night surrounding me back of the wall. When I aksed him about it, I told him that I had a jar filled with marijuana seeds, and he lot very upset. So I did not tell him about my military records.

I still have my aircrew training record tho. I got 100% on my two written exams for flight instructor in cargo plane in Vietnam.
then did an emergency proceedures check ride and a full day airlift checkride. played it straight.

Once I was flying with a new Lt in country, training him as a co-pilot. I let him fly a lot. We were circling down into Ham Tan. It was a typical Vietnamese village with a nearby artillery base and runway. There was a lot of woods around there. The new Lt. (son of a general) was over the woods. I asked him to circle down over the town and he said, NO, somebody in the village might shoot at us!" I then asked him, "Well, what are we here for, then?"

It pissed him off, I could tell. His mindset was programmed. Not connecting the dots. He went on to fly C5A's massive airlift vehicles.

bastards. Some aspects of marxism are ok but with a creative manifesto.

Well I don't really know anything about Marxism and as far as war stories goes, I suggest you go to one. This was not a war story but a story about an absurd moment in a war zone with a one dimensional son of a general. oops!Bush has some daughters who would do well in a combat zone, tho.Image
