"And Boomers, you were not wet behind the ears and stupid and arrogant at work when you were young?”

Seven months out of college, I was an Army ADA 2nd LT in charge of a Chaparral missile platoon. Three months later, they added the other Chaparral platoon to my plate.

Fortunately, both of my platoon sergeants did at least one tour in Nam. I grew up fast, there was no other choice.

However, I became a real PITA after a year on the job. I wasn't arrogant, just supremely confident in guiding my platoons. I welcomed it, it was "showtime".

Plenty of stories, I know they're interesting only to me.

One of heaven's innumerable blessings for those who arrive there will be that the other residents will find our stories to be endlessly fascinating and will insist on hearing them in detail, especially those which reveal how God was acting on our behalf.
