I can relate to that story. It seemed that of all the courses I taught during my three years in sunny Lulworth, all the officer courses were full to capacity. The enlisted courses were usually...
Ahhh, there are some of my fondest memories. Not blowing up Chieftans, but the view of Arish Mell Gap from St. Andrew's and Bindon ranges. Absolutely beautiful. I lived on Bindon Close just south...

No, I remeber vividly. I am an old guy, memories like that are what get me through life.
The other incident involved one of the female data collectors out in the Zussman complex with a bad case...
Hell, I didn't know the ITAS was that good. (Or bad depending on what you were looking at...)
