After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, Ed Rasimus

And, I hit the ground running one weekend at Nellis. Got the shave,
shower, and splash of "Sure-f***" so I smelled good. Then went to the
bar on Friday night. ...[snip] I couldn't be one because I
wasn't in a goat bag.

Let me get this straight...you went to the Nellis O-Club bar on a
friday night in civvies? Eewwww...that's just not right. Judgement:
None noted.

I had developed a plan for completing the action--sort of like how to
"win the peace" (pun intended). I knew, of course, that all the local
guys and Red Flag TDYers would be there in goat bags, but the complete
plan was to enter the merge, spot the target and then be able to drive
her out of the fur-ball to a one-on-one.

Had there been a requirement at some point in the engagement to say,
"wait right here while I go change before I take you someplace
special" the bogey would have escaped over the horizon or been
surrounded by others seeking to claim an easy kill.

Hey, you could have shown her your big ole Seiko watch.

I did display the GMT-Master as well as the 2-baht chain and authentic
Buddha.
