Ok, I'll admit I'm not far off from being an Lt myself. At 4.5 years of active duty time I'm just a baby Captain. However those 4.5 years really make a difference. I'm in a class here at Sheppard AFB with 14 2nd Lieutenants fresh out of college. That makes me the old man in the group - and I really feel like it at times. It blows me away how silly these kids are.
I won't go into detail here what exactly I've been exposed to in the two weeks I've been here at Sheppard - if you want more detail you can ask me about it when we visit next time. However, suffice it to say that I get to play "babysitter" here in ways I never expected.
Now, in their defense, not all of them are silly rambunctious kids - just the majority of them are! A few are quite mature and have helped out a great deal. But as the old saying goes, "It only takes a few bad apples..."
So, in honor of my classmates I thought I would post a video clip on here:
