As an army recruit at Fort McClellan in Alabama in 1973, we were cleaning out the female officer barracks before they arrived. After working half a day removing old furniture, we were all exhausted. The drill sergeant arrived asking if any of us could drive, of course we all raised our hands thinking we could get out of the grueling assignment. The drill sergeant smiled, and pointed you, you, and you (me) take these mops and drive them down this hallway. Before I went to basic training my dad said to never volunteer, I wish I had listened to him, lesson learned.
"Never volunteer for anything."
"Always bring something to read."
"Hurry up and wait."
