No kidding? I dont picture Rummy as an ASW type. Must not have liked it
if he was only on the job for three years. To each his own, I guess.

I think I read somewhere that he was an IP. Maybe the reason he checked
out
after so short a period of time was that he felt that he had used up all
of
his luck teaching the dummies to fly that bird. Anybody ever think to ask
him?

You might not have read the full bios. While he spent three years on
active duty, he then spent a full military career continuing to fly in
the Naval Reserves until retiring with the rank of Captain (O-6).

I was aware that he had stayed in and retired as an O-6. I guess you didn't
notice that the lump in my cheek was caused by my tongue rather than a case
of
the mumps. Maybe I should have included my homemade smiley sign to signify
that
I didn't want my comments taken too seriously. (^-^)))

BTW, since you brought it up, don't you ever wonder how he got through the
entire Viet Nam War without any active service during it, considering how
much
of a warrior he turned out to be as a civilian? Most of the rest of us who
wanted to do our bit in uniform found ways to make it happen.

Yes we did didn't we?
