I didn't want to stop so I changed into jeans & a T-shirt while on the road @ 70+mph...The jacket & trousers went out the window, probably the pisscutter too...(I also got a parking ticket for parking in the middle lane outside the Recruiting Station on Broad St, where the 1st Sgt had his office)...

I used to wear a size 34/35 jacket back then (tailored of course)...Now I can barely squeeze into a size 48...

(Strangely enough, my 15 year old Air Force uniforms [blues & BDUs] still fit...)

There is always an arsehole somewhere to make life a ball of crap.

I retired on April Fools Day....how ironic that sometimes is was a joke.
