We had a name for stuff like that in the Army. Well several expressions actually. One was cluster****. Then there was snafu (along the same lines.) Anyway you get the idea. That's how we did things the Army way.

I'll have to write about our battalions trip through Richmond sometime.

Yes, but we didn't use it much. Typical army ****up was by far the favorite.

In my battalion 60% of the enlisted men and 40% of the officers were college graduates. Those numbers are not reversed. In the enlisted ranks we had an architect and a lawyer that I know of and a real Mafia minor boss. Says a lot about Army intelligence.

1965 to 1971 One involuntary enlistment. Damn few of us were there because we wanted to be!
