      Of all nicknames I've carried over the years, "The Phantom Pooper" was definitely the most dramatic. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1500520020698447872 …

      2/ I read "The Phantom Blooper" when it came out in 1990 (I was in ROTC, I worked a side job in a bookstore, I got an employee discount, sprung for it in HC, IIRC). Only later learned it was the sequel to ...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_Blooper …

      Did not realize you were a fellow ROTC a guy. It all makes more sense now.

      Sadly RIF-ed when the Berlin Wall fell and the Dems demanded a "peace dividend". Never got to serve :(

      Army? I Air Force and got commissioned the year before the RIF I think. Just barely made it. My year group was the smallest of the 5 years either side. My brother was Army enlisted and was actually in Europe then. Saw The Wall concert at the the Berlin Wall. Crazy times.

      Air Force. Cornell ROTC. Would've gotten commissioned in 92, I think.

      University of Miami. Air Force Det 155. And yes, more than half those 92 guys got cut at graduation, totally against their will. I was a December grad and waited 10 months for active duty. Which got me the benefit of being a 91 grad, but met promotion with 92 group…

      when I was cut, the USAF was trying everything they could to get rid of people. I had friends who had medical waivers issued years before, that got yanked. They were lucky - thrown out without any fault attributed. Then they started raising the min GPA. 2.5 -> 2.6 -> 2.7 -> 2.8

      my GPA was 2.98 or something. They raised the minimum to 3.0 ... and suddenly I was under it. ...and it was my fault for "failing to maintain military standards", so I was in violation of the contract. Punishment: report to Basic Training and serve 4 years enlisted. >>>

          I appealed the decision, and they decided to let me "merely" pay back the ROTC scholarship money. ...starting immediately. I appealed again, and they agreed to defer payback until I graduated 2 years later.

          “Taking care of Airmen”. Yeah. I ended up in a financial management field despite having a Mechanical Engineering degree. My first assignment I got my move paid in cash in about 15 minutes. By the time I left it was a 30-day standard that only got met if you were lucky.
