Congratulations!

Major, eh? Reminds me of...(fade to flashback sequence, I'll be First Sgt. Towser...)

Catch-22 (1970)
Maj. Major Major Major: "Sergeant, from now on, I don't want anyone to come in and see me while I'm in my office. Is that clear?"
First Sgt. Towser: "Yes, sir? What do I say to people who want to come in and see you while you're gone?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "Tell them I'm in and ask them to wait."
First Sgt. Towser: "For how long?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "Until I've left."
First Sgt. Towser: "And then what do I do with them?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "I don't care."
First Sgt. Towser: "May I send people in to see you after you've left?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "Yes."
First Sgt. Towser: "You won't be here then, will you?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "No."
First Sgt. Towser: "I see, sir. Will that be all?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "Also, Sergeant, I don't want you coming in while I'm in my office asking me if there's anything you can do for me. Is that clear?"
First Sgt. Towser: "Yes, sir. When should I come in your office and ask if there's anything I can do for you?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "When I'm not there."
First Sgt. Towser: "What do I do then?"
Maj. Major Major Major: "Whatever has to be done."
First Sgt. Towser: "Yes, sir."

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 06-06-2010 02:08

I bought you another drink to congratulate you on your Majority Rich. However you were out, so I had to drink it myself to stop it from getting warm.
Rob.

Congratulations!

I hope promotions around here aren't like they are in the real world where picking up Major takes you out of the field (or out of the cock-pit) and onto a desk.

**Papavader** · 06-07-2010 00:28

Come on Max, we've been in the bar for days. You been on home leave or something? Get this one or three down, and then for some serious drinking with the Major.

Nope, it's the rank of Col. that lands you behind a desk most of the time around here... or at least that has been my experience!

NeilCFord · 06-07-2010 15:23

So max old chap, the Flying Officer tells me you're in the chair. Mine's a pint.

- Neil.

**richard m schwab** · 06-07-2010 16:52

Thank you one and all.

Brian!
That must be the case i have spent the last two days working on a JU-88 and another He-111. One of these days i will get on flying!

Max!
The last horse i was on, tried to decapitate me on a cloths line that was in the 60`s. An equestrian i ain`t!

Neil!
Follow Max to the bar he is flush today!

Rich

I salute you with my right hand as I take a swing with my left! Being ambidextrous does have its advantages!

Becoming a major is a huge responsibility! Just think of all the titles you must achieve:

Major contributor (I like this one at the bar)
Major source of (pick the topic)
Major pain in the (pick the location)

Ah! Now I have a drink in my right hand! Cheers to you twice!

Have fun,
Volant Gun.
