[Fot] Veteran's Day

[greenman62 at hotmail.com]

Sure... 1505s... "Lifers", Blue wool shirts (they made a comeback in the late
60s USAF)... tech school down the road at my old man's Alma Mater (Chanute)...
My Chief Observer at Shaw AFB trying to catch my trainer and I napping during
a midnight shift by climbing up the shaky weather tower's escape rope...
getting half way up and being treated by a shower of cold coffee for his
troubles. "Gee, Sgt. Kemp (not his real name) we didn't know you were there!"
Sitting in the quiet darkness of a Phillippean night on a loading dock taking
a break from editing weather reports with my friends... and suddenly being
scared to death when a rice bug the size of a Buick smacked into the steel
door behind us...

Life was tough at the sharp end of the sling psychrometer.

'Now back in the brown shoe days..."

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
