Just One More Situation With Our Uncle Sam,
Where Few Are Surprised, About Our Not Being Notified.
To Keep Us In The Dark. All Need Be Done Is To Say "It's Classified".
Then, Once Again, We're Screwed.!

Although I've Mentioned This A Couple Of Times In The Past,
I'm Still Chuckling About It To This Day. Although Some May Just Find This A Little Funny,
I Think It's Hilarious Because It Involves Myself. ~ After I Enlisted On My 17th Birthday,
Was Sent To Little Rock AFB In Arkansas And Given An Assignment In The Security Of A Nuclear Bomb Storage Area. One Evening I Got To Thinking About The Guys I'd Attended School With Stateside. And Thought to Myself, "Here I Am, 17 Years Old, Armed To The Hilt With Loaded Weapons And Wandering Around A Bunch Of Nuclear Bombs; While The Guys I Was In School With Are Probably Headed Down Some Hallway To Their Lockers, To Dig Out Their Jock Straps For Gym Class. ~ "I WIN" ~

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney Perspective is an Amazing Thing! I Sucked in School, I just wanted to Play with Radios and Antennas! The Navy/NSA/DIA Said "We'll Set You Up, Take Care of You!" Little Did I Know what I was Getting Myself Into!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel -
Stateside, I Disliked School To The Point I Was Tossed Out Of
"Ole Lady Waddell's Class Room 4 - 5 Times Every Week And
Sent To The Principals Office, Bob Lott. Mr. Lott Would Just Shrug His Shoulders & Say
" Let's Go Wander The Hall An See What's Going On": And That's What We Did.... He And I Became Good Friends And Corresponded Even When I Moved To Panama~ Years Later When I Was Married With 2 Kids Of My Own, And Lived In Colonial Village, I Lansing, MI.
1 Of My Daughter Was Selling Avon And Talking To A Lady When Her Husband Came Into The Living Room... Because He Herd Linda Introduce Herself To His Wife. It Was Bob Lott ~ He Lived Down The Street From Us, About A Block And 1/2 From The Family Where Erwin,"Magic" Johnson Lived.. Then It Started All Over, As He And I Would Laugh & Talk About Ole Lady Waddell And What A Bitch She Was,As Well As How He And I Became Friends Because Of Her. Almost Forgot : The Schools In Panama Were So FAR Ahead Of Ours And I Had NO Chance Of Ever Graduation From There. But Even Failing The 9th Grade TWICE, I Learned More There, FAILING, Than I Ever Learned Stateside PASSING, Year After Year. And It Was FUN Too, They Educated Their Students.~ What A Conception!!
