No one keeps me in luxury..I worked for a living.

Good Morning, lil' Squirt!!

What did you do for your government? In what type 'work' were you engaged? I'll bet your job was to
be as caustic and derogatory as possible.

How're those gonads coming? You've not displayed any by answering questions on the topics you
brought up.

Honestly, sitting in your little house talking down to others who are hundreds of miles away is not
'courageous'.

Bye, Squirt.

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

You are an amusing old fart, Johnny.
You are the self assigned leader of talking down to others.
I'd bet it was due to your Lt Colonel rank in the army. You still expect everyone to salute you.
Well, I will.. but only with one finger.

Half the lieutenant colonels in the Army who stayed in got promoted to
full colonel. Herring stayed in but got passed over for promotion,
probably for insulting one too many "soldier of color."

Doubtful. I don't know about the Army but in the Navy any demonstration
of overt racism would be cause for immediate dismissal from the service,
at least in the years I was "in".

I was being only half sarcastic here. Washington, D.C., is "ripe" with
retired bird colonels, a few of whom I know and have worked with over
the years.

Harry has to fit his mold. I commented on his post, but only on the pertinent part. I expect the
Army was just as concerned with racism as the Navy.

My understanding is that John was an Army equivalent of a "Mustanger"
meaning he was enlisted, continued school, went to OCS and was
commissioned. That could have occurred well into his military career.
I don't know.

I know that the Navy had several programs whereby an enlisted person
could continue school leading to a commission. Often they became
"Limited Duty Officers" or "LDOs". An LDO was a specialist in a
particular field like electronics or whatever and was not a "Line"
officer meaning they were not eligible for command. Most LDOs in the
Navy never advanced beyond the rank of Lt. Commander.
