| I'm recruitment age, but thanks to Slick Willy, (a man who himself dodged the draft), I'm not eligible for military service because I took methylphenidate (commercial name Ritalin), after I was 12 years old. (I don't remember the specific Executive Order that forbids adults with ADHD from serving their country, all I remember is being pissed off about the irony of a draft-dodger telling ME that I couldn't follow a family tradition of serving in the US military.) For those of you who are interested, (and at this hour, how many of you are there?), both my Grandfather and my Great Uncle served in WWII (my Grandfather built helicopter rotors for the Coast Guard, while my Great Uncle served in the Infantry), my Uncle invented Red Flag (the USAF version of "Top Gun"), and my Father designed the instrumentation package which allows the KC-135 Stratotanker to participate in Red Flag. So I blame Bill Clinton for my being out of shape (I figure that if I'd joined the military after I graduated High School, I'd be in damn good shape right now). :)
All of that aside, I'll download it from work and take it home on Zip Disk. ;) |
