Thanks, I think

I kid... mostly. WAY too long a story: My gripe with AF units back before your father went to A&M (and screw you for being so young, btw ) was a few sticking to the damn rules above all else. I sat a football weekend because as the C.O. I had signed a statement saying that all seniors in our company had Corps senior parking passes on their vehicles in the rear window. One of our guys didn't, because he drove a Jeep with plastic windows and the sticker wouldn't stick. No matter! I lied!!! And the #$!%@! AF puke walked down the mile-long row of cars to find his (who does that???), turned me in, and I missed a damn football game. As my fish were pouring drums of water on his nuts from the 3rd floor (do they still "take 'em to the quad"? I surely hope so.) I asked him if he had considered this. No big deal, says he. He wasn't planning on going to the game anyway! So the session lasted a bit longer than normal

But every other AF guy I knew was fine - he just made a strong impression. In any case I have no right to point fingers: Several years after I graduated, F-1 was disbanded after a late-night run resulted in a kid dying, and it has only recently been reinstated. I guess being a stickler for parking passes is better than killing freshmen.
