[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1024804, member: 80288"] Carl, My neighbor Brian, came over after he got home from work and told me he was a bit apprehensive when he first went in to work today and after he'd been there about a half hour, the supervisor called him in, closed the door and apologized for his behavior. Told Brian that the screw up had been his, not the equipment. Brian said he manned up pretty decently, at least to him. Well, I guess everything is well that ends well, but he seemed typical of a lot of senior management personnel that have all the answers, but don't have a clue about the questions. God knows i worked with enough of them to recognize one when I meet them. Oh well, on with the important stuff... djones ( Hog Hunting, In the ear, right?) is going on a trip, and it's going to be boring as heck around here without someone to pick on. Regarding Military/Scout training, was trained as a surveyor by the Army and traveled all over the world putting in Long Range Missile firing sites during the very early 60's cold war. Did it for 6 years except for one year (1966) in Vietnam where I was a Recon Sgt on a Artillery Forward Observer team because they didn't need surveyors in the "Nam" and the Survey Sgt's, knew Azimuth, Distance, Coordinates, Land Navigation and how to call in Artillery fire. Lost the Lt early on and the suckers left me and my RTO out in the jungle attached to the infantry for 11.5 months. Mainly lots of boredom accented with segments of tighten the pucker strings type stuff. Either had the GI Quick steps from the "C" Rats or was constipated for a week, or both simultaneously, which trust me isn't easy. Talk about excreting a masonry modular unit....:D Packrat [ATTACH]42028.vB[/ATTACH] . [/QUOTE]
