Not too bad for a "Jarhead"! I learned a similar lesson as a "Grunt", back
in about '67.....
"There's never time to do it right, but ALWAYS time to do it over!"
To learn this lesson in only 5 hours, and only cost $17.00 or $30.00, Lou,
you got off cheaply!! To have learned the same lesson later in life would
have cost you more time and money.....
