First of all, what do a couple of Air Force enlisted people (especially
Sakowski) understand about officer business?  Secondly, I was not riffed.
In fact, I don't recall a RIF at any time during my commissioned service.

I have reported on my career and the circumstances of my retirement many
times and don't care to do it again.

There is a rule in these echoes that has been in effect since I first
squatted here in 1992 and that is this - the half-wit class latches onto an
inaccuracy and hangs onto that inaccuracy against all facts or persuasion.
Your buddy Otto, for example, still spouts some bullshit about Jeff Binkley
and electric pyramids.  Otto has been told my his buddies that Jeff said no
such thing, but sure enough, about every six months, Otto chimes in with it
again.

There comes a point where thinking people say, "what's the use?"
