[operation clinton cleanup]

I arrived at Lackland for USAF BMT on January 9,1990.

I remember for about the first two weeks we got about 30 seconds to eat our meals, that was after downing the mandatory two glasses of water.

Once our flight was standing in formation in front of one of the admin buildings. As a young female A1C approached us in her dress blues, the flight leader ordered us to attention and saluted her. She about died laughing! (I think the flight leader assumed anyone in dress blues was an officer).

I remember talking to a Greyhound driver (I'd take the bus up to L.A. fairly regularly, when I could get weekend liberty) who laughed about all the greenhorns who'd salute him....of course we'd all been warned in boot camp, "If in doubt, salute!"
