Herring got drafted. Did your friend?
yes, but could you handle a shovel?


Hey! As a matter of fact, I went to Engineer OCS. We learned all about
shovels...and det cord. Det cord is so cool.

Det cord is the way to dig ditches. I wonder if Jim's son knew OCS was
an option for a really creative way to get those ditch's dug.

If you score high enough on the various tests, it was the ASVAB when I
was in, you got to talk to the series commander about becoming an
officer. I was already what was called an 85 day reservist in a
commissioning program. You had to have a GT score above 110 at that
time. I was second highest in my platoon with a 128 just behind a guy
who had a 145. Smart sum-bitch but really ****ed up.
