I wasn't all that thrilled with "rookie" in reference to a 32-year old
Lieutenant who had the qualifications to make it into the Blues, either...

What I found interesting [just noticed it because Ed quoted that
portion] was that Phil Coleman's "Otis Willie" sock-puppet has
promoted itself, and retired itself.

Military News and Information Editor

[Damnfino what the HD part of the (HD, Ret.) is supposed to mean,
probably Honorable Discharge which is not something anyone in the
US military who has retired ever puts in that (Ret) parenthetical
anyway. But then, Phil has never really known squat about the
military anyway.]

I asked a retired (career) Army friend of mine what the HD could mean,
and his reply is as follows:

"The only thing I can surmise is HD in this context would
mean 'Honorable Discharge'."

Including 'HD' does seem borderline preposterous next to 'Ret.',
particularly for an officer.

Resigned, not retired :-)

Nothing Phil has ever done has been borderline preposterous, it
has all been totally, completely, outrageously preposterous.
Phil's motto has always been, if a scam isn't worth overdoing, it
is not worth doing at all.

they might take away his retirement pay and send him to Iraq to
earn it all over again. ;-]
