Will,

The heavies were determined to have the last laugh though and hauled all
the Navy folks over to the Bolling AFB (for pity's sake) for
re-educati--err, "sensitivity" training provided courtesy a female
contractor

I guess when the Vietnamese did it to their folks (as they did post-1975) it
was "bad," but it's OK when we do it to our own.

BTW-I was on the third floor until about 4am on Sunday and I didn't see
or
hear
anything that could remotely be construted as a gauntlet, sexual
harassment or
anytimg else that the flag or press or the bitch Schroeder talked about.


I was up there too (my first and only TH). The gauntlet was real. It was
down by the elevators around midnight to 1 AM. IIRC there was a huge
crowd
most of the evening around the hall just dumping off of the elevators.
I'd
avoided it all evening by going around the patio outside and cutting
through
the suites to get to the far end of the hall.

While I hadn't made it to that TH, I was in DC on my first joint tour
when the sh*t hit the fan. As one of the few wearing gold wings, the
heat was on, especially when it was learned I was a member of the
Association. Long story short, my Tail Hook membership still remains
unbroken back to '79 The heavies were determined to have the last

(for pity's sake) for re-educati--err, "sensitivity" training provided
courtesy a female contractor, who had never been in the military and
who proceeded to lecture the assembled gaggle of cretins about how
there was no difference between being deployed for 6+ months to a
combat zone (many had just come to shore duty from DS) and spending a
night in a fire station (her one "trying" circumstance when
questioned). The reaction form the assembled group was as priceless
as it was unprintable
