Nawww....the old boy came in as a real Gentleman with a capital "G" so I even mixed his injection with anesthetic instead of the water supplied in the kit to make it more tolerable...

This fellow was as easy going as they come...I found that the folks wearing "Naval Special Warfare" livery were all like that....

Now of course, if the Admiral (he was a REAR Admiral, BTW!!) had come in all spit and polish and cranky-like, I would have used the water...

....what goes around etc...

You NEVER mess with the cook or the medic...

As a Marine, that's one of the first things you're told. Don't mess with the Corpsmen, your shot records are in their hands.:laughing:

I had to drive for a one star General for a few days while I was in the Corps years ago. A very nice and polite gentleman. I was suprised. Then someone told me that they don't have to raise their voice or get upset anymore, they have lower ranking officers to do that for them.

Well....THIS old boy looked like he could take up for himself if the need arose...gray feathers notwithstanding!

The man was put together out of old leather boots and gristle...I thought I was trying to drive that needle into a 2x4....and when he shook my hand on the way out I thought I had stuck my hand in a bear trap...

Nice to know that when you want folks re-rehabilitated and / or their stuff broken, such folks as he have the watch....

Of course, having a few Marines around ain't bad either...
