I was The Genius. If something didn't work and it needed jerry rigged, I was the one they called. My nickname was TOAST....Tom Of All Specialized Traits. Which one were you?

I've always thought the cast from Gilligan's Island a better analogy...in which case, I was undoubtedly the "Professor"...he who can build a nuclear reactor from a coconut and some clam shells, but can't figure out how to get the radio to work :)

Cpl Tom Surdi I was a cross between the leader and the old man. I was crusty enough not to take too much shit from the FNGs, but I was also very into paradigm breaking and letting young troops show us new ways to do things. Seems to have worked for my career. I was the #1 SNCO in the Air Force for Intelligence in 2004.
