Well, it appears I'm in good company ! Good luck at pilot training LT "O", you may be the Jr. Officer here !?

?And Tas does out rank me ! He's a RAN O-4, I was only an old Grunt O-3 !

And C/C, you were a USAF LT "Missiler", IIRC ? ??Since I am 50 and the oldest and "crustyist"/bitter/disallusioned, etc., I guess I am the Old Man ! ?

? ?But I'll let them interrogate Tas first !

L4 your right I was a missilier. Now in honor of you being are "Old Man" I figured the perfect celebration would be to bring up some qoutes from a the perfect example of a crusty/Nail bitting/Old salt.
I know the rank is wrong L4 please forgive. I guess an operations officer could be just as much as a hard ass, as Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley.
qoutes: (Please forgive any langauge. It's just not the same without some color)
Sergeant Ernie Savage: Beautiful morning, Sergeant!
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: What are you a f$%^ weatherman now?
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: If any of you sons of bitches calls me grandpa, I'll kill you.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: You can't take any pictures from down there, son.

Joseph Galloway: I'm a non-combatant.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Ain't no such thing today.
