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 guess his score wasn't high enough.

Not much of a score is required for an Engineer Equipment Operator. Shovels
and 1.5KW generators don't require a lot of expertise.

What do you do with the 1.5kw gen?

I would love to use some of that det cord up on my mother's place to
clean up the back 40. Do you have any spare cord lying around? I
wonder if it would work as an easy way to till up her garden.

A 1.5 is what keeps the lights on in the tents.

Nope, sorry to say I used the last of my det cord while visiting a
southeast Asia country. You might try filling a garden hose with C-4. The
effect should be even better.
