From your home page: "An eleven year Veteren of the United States Army who worked his way up from buck private to 1st Lt...."

Shouldn't that be "down"? *grin*

General

Leaps tall buildings with a single bound
Is more powerful than a locomotive
Is faster than a speeding bullet
Gives policy to God

First lieutenant
Runs into buildings
Recognizes locomotives two out of three times
Is not issued ammunition
Can stay afloat if properly instructed in the use of a Mae West
Talks to walls

Actually I have to admit- 2d lt. is probably the hardest job in the army- snot nosed 22 yr old trying to ride herd on people that have been doing their job since before you were in college. Tough row to hoe.

Kind of makes me feel bad we lit ours on fire that time...

LOL! I have to agree with you. Most 2LTs deserve to be set on fire. I had the good fortune to make my way to E-5 before going back to school and getting my bars.

I did OK and my troops seemed to like and respect me (which is as much as any officer can ask). Whenever I wasn't sure how to handle something all I had to do is remember how the 2LTs I had served under did it. Then I'd do the opposite. Seemed to work pretty well.

P.S. I hope you gave your LT a fire extinguisher after lighting him up. I'm that whatever he did, he simply didn't know any better...
