were spreading the line to Mrs. Miller; well, you were stating the honest truth. You say "I know an a/c is the same thing..(as a private)... but sounds nicer." Well, I am sitting here to tell you, sweetheart, that you are wrong. An a/c and a private are two very very different things. An a/c. ranks above all enlisted men including sergeants of any type. An a/c must be a volunteer; he can never be drafted. We wear Officers uniforms and live by West Point rules and regulations. We must pass a stiffer physical, mental and moral examination that is required for any army in the world. So that's that. Now give me a kiss to show me you love me and goodnight... BJ
