In 1945 I was a Second Lt, Army Air Corps Pilot in RTU (Replacement
(Fighter) Training Unit) and a CAA rep came around and all of us who
wanted a Private License were given a 10 question test and then given
a Temp Certificate and regular license came in several weeks later.

You can't beat that. I of course later worked up to Commercial and
Instructor SMEL and Instruments with no poblems..

Oh for the good old days )

Weren't you expected to fight a war in exchange for the easy license?


Two foreign concepts for you in one!

Three if oyu count the good old days.

Unfortunately for Anthony, serving the country in the military is a foreign
concept, although which service branch would take him is another question.

I could just see his lard ass in front of a Marine drill instructor,
explaining how to re-design the M-16, or expounding on infant formula and
breast feeding.

Bwaahwhahwhahwh!

I can see the drill instructor collapsing in tears, too.

I'm thinking we should rename him Gomer, now.

Too much credit.

Gomer actually made it through basic.

I was an Army OCS TAC (Drill instructor for officers) - Sadly I saw
his kind from time to time. We were always more than happy to keep
their stay short -- usually 2 hours -- 90 minutes of that time spent
outprocessing.

True, but the no money thingk might have suited him.

Every platoon has a use for an Anthony, even
if it's just cleaning the grease trap at the
mess hall.
