ha ha I can remember doing the same thing: fine, lets go see the general, lets all be honest and lay it all out. Once a commander threatened to court martial me for refusing some order of his I was sure was wrong (nothing serious, he just wanted me to fake the training records before an inspection, but I wouldn't do it)and I told him fine let's do it! Let's have a court martial. And the first sergeant had to take him aside and tell him privately it wouldn't look good for the captain if he tried to bring the lt. up on charges for refusing to lie and cheat on the records!
I am retired myself now from all that too (or rather I was in the reserves for eighteen years until I couldn't deal with it anymore and left: went from private e-1 to captain); and its weird, but I think I met the best and the worst people I've ever known in the military. The very best and the very worst. And the worst were always a stinking small group out of the whole!I think I would have liked to have met you, RMP.
