Mark, I am proud to say I gave Mixer the biggest screwing anybody ever gave anybody, world-class.

But it has to be in context:

We grew up together.
We joined the Army together.
We did Basic together.
I taught him what LEFT means.
We did crew chief school together.
I went to the 119th.
He went to Cobra school, then went to the 101st.
We decided to extend together for the 119th and fly together.

Taa-daahhh... now the story continues:

I got scared and pulled my extension papers at the last minute, wrote to Mixer up north.

He didn't get the letter until it was too late to pull his papers.

I left and went home to 6 months at Ft Devens, about 45 minutes from home, then about 9 months in Germany.

He ended up back in the 119th for 6 months after I left, about 13,000 miles from home.

That's what I call giving your buddy a world-class screwing.

I dunno how you do it better than that, anyway.

Bob
