Lt. M.,
Whether you are actually a lieutenant or not really doesn‘t matter to me in
the slightest. Heaven knows, I ain‘t no soldier! What does matter is the
quality and nature of your contributions to the on-line discussion.
Personally, I thought your question about most/least favourite rations was
genius - exactly what was needed to stir people up and cheer ‘em up at a
time when the list was languishing a bit.
Beyond that, is there anything else you would like to ask this august
virtual assemblage? They really are awfully helpful to aspiring young
soldiers and to other greenhorns like me! with an interest in army stuff.
Cheers,
Joan
PS - No takers on the reduction in Arctic fly time and helicopters, etc.
issue, huh? Ian, I thought you might be good for a thought or two on that
one Mike, too, if you‘re still out there...
