8. Greetings:

   Back in the late ’60s, I spent some time in the US Army’s helicopter flight school at Fort Wolters, Texas. Part of the program was a serious dose of what were called “calesthenics” in those days. The Army had a series of twelve notorious exercises know as “The Daily Dozen” which were followed by pushups to past the point of exhaustion. To prolong that latter agony, the instructor would go through our chain of command all the way to the President, calling out each individual and demanding one more pushup for him. One day, close to Christmas, one of the wiser guys in our company called out, (anonymously, needless to say), “And give me one for the Baby Jesus.” To which, our instructor quickly responded, “One hell, give me ten for the Baby Jesus.”

   Remember, no matter how weird stuff seems in the movies, the military is probably weirder.
