Tuesday

I was in the army forty years ago and there was a sgt that everyone hated. Well I got along with him because I don't hate anyone. He first made me an ammunition handler and as that progressed he promoted me to an E-4 Ammunition handling specialist. A nice bump in a pay raise and I moved into military housing instead of living off the economy with a $230 housing allowance.
