Q&A

Yes - I was in the US military, operating in the fringe of a Central American country, when I took off for the capital city. Senior, in-country, US conventional military commanders became highly perturbed and were talking courts martial. Fortunately, I had country-wide temporary duty orders; so, I wasn't under their jurisdiction. Later back stateside, I explained to my actual boss [spec. ops.] that I had designated my replacement for that day and took off to celebrate the occasion of my 30th birthday! The boss smiled, said that he didn't like those particular in-country commanders anyway, and blew the whole thing off!! I owe it all to Ferris!!!


Have you ever had a close call?
