The Colonel called him in and told him to take some of the troops up on the flight deck and march them around for some excercise. He was young and inexperienced and the Sergeant was concerned that the young Lieut could handle the situation. Well, the troops came up to the flight deck and the Lieut did pretty well for awhile but then he got a bit cocky. He gave the order : "To The Left - March" and then watched with horror, his voice frozen, as the men headed to the edge of the deck and a drop of seven stories to the sea below. The Sgt looked at the Lieut and said, : "Say something, Lieutenant, even if it's only goodbye." As you all head off for the long holiday weekend, say something even if ... Have a Happy New Year wherever you are. Stay warm. wow Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Crossthread line #14030 12/29/00 03:42 AM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Jackie Carpal Tunnel Jackie Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Wow, I'd have to say that those troops bought the farm.
