You've Got the Freedom...

...to walk out if they drag you down.

Why do all the career Air Force types try to lay a guilt trip at your feet when you tell them you plan to separate from the military at the end of your enlistment? It makes me feel like they feel the SIX years I have given to my nation simply isn't enough. Did you guys know that the civilian secretary of the Air Force has never spent a single day in military service?

Mike, as for my brain falling out of my skull, I want you (and Eddie too!) to know this: A day in the life in that which is issued in the 'slipping' faculty of Mungo's brain is the rhetorical equivalent of being stuck on stupid. Though the pleasant taste of my natural mind is often curtailed by the bitter presence of driftless conjectures (or "aimless suppositions" as I call them out to myself), believe me please, brothers, it is far more frustrating to BE me than it is to ENDURE and TOLERATE me. And it shortens me, I'm afraid, to a great degree.

Time to love you,
Mungo
