“Oh yes,” Willise replies, “You’re one hundred percent right “

I continue away – on a roll now, “How come I’ve got to sit in this office and defend myself and that sunnabitching three-striper and the Air Police people go Scott free? “Well, said the colonel, “the guard says you were sneaking around and kept trying to sneak up on him.” I respond, “Oh bullshit!” Continuing, “So don’t send me out on guard checks anymore.

But whatever you do I’m tired of unadulterated horseshit for doing the job I was ordered to do!” I stopped, before I went too far and totally lost whatever cool I had left. “OK, OK, Lynn! OK, Enough. I’ll back you up. I just wanted to see if we could work something out.” “Well, you can’t,” I replied, still in a tantrum.

An hour later, Col. Willsie came by my scope (MY God – he was actually made an appearance in the Dark Room) where I was busy monitoring BUFFs and said, “I mentioned what we talked about to the commander, and he said he’d back you.” I say a quiet “thanks” but think, “Big Fucking Deal.”
