- the 1978 class had already learned all they needed to know to pass
the 1978 tests.

Which means WHAT?

Members of ANY branch of the US military in 1978 were ALL
volunteers. ALL.

Yeah, they volunteered to join which is to say they agreed to swear to
follow the orders of their superiors. What do you surmise would have
happened to one of those CG grunts if he told his lieutenant "Oh well
screw you George, I'm a volunteer and I ain't taking no damned ham
radio tests."

Why don't you explain how it was in YOUR military service, old
timer? :-)

You NEVER did any, sweetums. None.

And you have the temerity to claim "work for naval intelligence!" :-)

Ya goofy PUTZ.

Call us VETERANS anything you want, old timer. The steam has gone
out of your catapult and you can't launch much anymore.

Tell us all about your ultralight flyers, all the wright stuff...about as
lightweight as your military communications experience.
