Tailhook, I REALLY don't mind talking "outside" about this. (In another thread).

But be warned. I'm not threatening you, much like that division officer you keep misrepresenting, *I'm advising you against this course of action*.

Does Tailhook even know how grown men talk to each other in a professional setting? She sounds more and more like a grammer school teacher or a nun. (I'm trying to be discriptive, not insulting) Which is perfectly okay to be, just not in a thread of military stories.

Officer: I advise against that course of action.
Enlisted:*Does it anyway*
Officer: you're on your own.

At what point was Mommy supposed to step in? Is the division officer supposed to hold Shettles hand EVERY time something he pulled down on himself came up? Shettles was an only child, Army brat who did not know how to interact with others. There was no social give and take with him.

All 36 other members of my shop, from wildly different parts of the country, got along. New York City to Mudcreek, Kentucky to Coalinga, California. Except for him. What does THAT tell you? It's not a "clique" if it's everybody else!

What a sec! Jim, is that you?
