I was an Airedale too...
The same day I was in line behind him at chow, a snipe hole opened up, and out popped the pastiest white dude, with hair about down to his shoulders... He closed and sealed the snipe hole, turned around and was face to face with the captain.
Jerry just looked at him and said, Get your ass to the barber shop.
Hahahaha...I burst out laughing when I saw “snipe hole”!
Remember he called himself “Sluf”? Okay, totally odd. When he would say that over the 1MC, I remember people looking at each other (I was in an A-7 squadron whose planes were referred to disparagingly as “Slufs”...:) and registering a subtle eye roll.
I thought that was weird. I didn’t want a “Sluf” leading me. I wanted a Captain. A real one. That was just odd.
