So we get our once a year inspection from Mountain-top; and Sgt Inbetween comes right for my morning reports, opens-up the folder, and in a thumbing wiz, announces to the building that he has found an error ! Heavens to Betsy, I believe was the expression. I do declare ! and he pulls the regulation out of his pocket like a lawyer. And I say: that is not the one I saw. They did not get a care from me and dropped it like-lead into rejection. Are they ten year-olds? And they had to move-on. After they'd-gone, Surebe says; "What was that all about ?" So I told him the story, he smiling with blonde-looking, too-successful pink-face. So you heard it from me. Surebe never made a mistake, no matter what the history books say and he wasn't there when it happened.
I had two semi-buddies. One was an intellectual college educated historian draftee from Oregon named Layander and the other a New York city mess-up named Herdworder, who had been promoted to E3 and busted back E2 numerous times. I had educated myself in Chinese Taoist philosophy - 'go with the flow'. I gave him a lecture once in the pool room and he did better. He even got promoted to E4. One night he comes to me in the disposal building and says he has to meet with an Inspector General team or IG. They would come from Germany and investigate things like black market. And they would catch irregularities and theft and what not and would name names, except the names had always already finished their tour of duty and were gone.
