Dunno. When price dropped to $11 a barrel I enlisted in the Army. I thought I
knew about the military (-: None of the drills at basic had been in when I was
in the USAF so they had a lot of questions about things back then.

During NBC classes I was asked if the Air Force did it that way. I said they
didnot. We didn't have these types of weapons then (at least not in SEA) I said
I had only worn a protective mask (gas mask) for riot training (I was a SP in
the Air Force) And that was only once a year... 


oops. The last thing I recall was the store manager was wearing coveralls and
serviceing a couple of tools. No one else was there - everyone else had been
laid off. Prolly booming now though.
