BTW, I have volunteered to rejoin the Air Force for the upcoming show. By allowing me to be of service, it would free a woman to fly.

Having worked with and sometimes for the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, formerly at Scott AFB, since around 1977, I was *persuaded* to accept a direct reservist's commission and blue suit when it was discovered that I was signed for around a million and a half dollars worth of radios during the St Louis area Mississippi flooding of the early 1990s, and that it was really more than an inactive individual reservist could legitimately be responsible for.

Following the 09/11 atrocity, the element I'm at present assigned to came under Army control, and I have the opportunity to be a staph ossipher and wear a green suit and new black beret that I don't even have to go to Ranger school for. But I've had fun with the zoomies, and may stay with them as a commo officer and dittychaser if I can. Besides, how many bluesuiters do you know who've earned balloon pilot's wings, aka *the lightbulb*.

Lose the black beret.

In combat, you might be mistaken for:
A.) Ms.Monica Lewinsky
B.) A Frenchman, A Belgian, or some sort of English person
C.) A Painter
D.)Richard Wagner

As a commo person, you should know that a wrong ID like this would only give Saddam Hussein aid and comfort and confuse those attempting to fly close support missions. I date back to the era when pilots were judged to be smarter than bombs, so as we used to say in the Roman Air Force, take this advice Cum Grano Salis.
