Give it up, Herring. You're no more competent at this than you were as a
military ossifer. The only reason you made light colonel was because you
stayed in long enough.


Harry,

"LTC" (O-5)

Ins't that easy to come up with regardless of they time you spend in
the Army

The Army doesn't give 0-5 away, you do have to earn it.



I have an old and close friend in his early 50's now in Afghanistan who
is finishing up his career in the Army. When I first met him in 1988, he
was a a lieutenant hoping for promotion to captain in a year or two.
He's finishing up as a full colonel. He was in desert storm, and in
Dubya's war against Iraq, and now he's in Afghanistan. I guess he's done
well, and if so, he earned it.

Herring seems about as dumb a military officer as I have ever seen.
