Each to his own. I probably wouldn't have handled it like that but it wasn't really off the reservation...nobody got shot or anything.

Sigh........now you TRULY are showing your newness/naivete. It's an OLD joke.

Just like when you're flying with a guy that lives around the airport, the flight path is over his house off. He points to his house and then says "I live in that house right th......WAIT, WHO'S TRUCK IS THAT IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!!!!!"

HE'S JOKING.

I'm aware it's an old joke, it runs in the mil as well, I've used it hundreds of times. Which is why I added the anecdote.

Whether you dump lavs, dig ditches, or command a crew it matters. And b) according to my FOM, yes there are "troops" to take care of. But thanks for your $.02
Great post Spoonman. I wish I had put it that way.

Yep. And his tidy whities (at least the ones that aren't glued to cardboard in his dresser drawer).

Mike. Accelerate your post-military assimilation (or just stop posting until you do). Please. You are becoming a worst-case scenario and giving your mil bubbas a bad name.

I was flying was a centerline nazi the day. I'm getting lined up for a visual in a pretty stiff crosswind. "You're off centerline" (still 3 miles out). Next landing same thing. If I was it was less than a quarter dot. 3rd landing at night. Nose wheel touches down on the turtles, because that's what I can see..."Umm you need to get centerline." Gee thanks.
