I successfully avoided DC.
They tried to send me.
We had a bit of a joke, we had this gallon jar of pickled pigs lips, and we would put a couple in a zip lock baggie and in the dead of night slip those into the attaché case of the poor schlub that had to go pitch the proposal in DC.
Anywho..there in front of the Admiral and Congress critters the locks were unsnapped to present the proposal...
Man if you could talk your way out of pickled pigs lips in front of the brass you could talk your way out of anything!
“Oh I beg your pardon sir, it is a local delicacy, that I am fond of.. I only have two, I
am willing to share, oh I forgot about the congress critters..
Does anyone have a pocket knife?
7 years in DC LOL
How long did you serve, brother?
