Being in a rocket silo in Montana is fine duty why are you knocking
it?

Pilots run checklists and take-off. Missile officers run checklists, eat breakfast,
then more checklists, eat lunch, then run more checklists, then eat dinner, then
run more checklists, then eat mid-night chow, then run more checklists, then eat
breakfast, then they go back to the O-Club for lunch, and then they go home and
run the wives checklist... The damned rockets just sit there, until we get tired of
paying for them.
