No One Wants the Job

Have they run out of cannon fodder?

• Big meeting on Weds. Apparently O'Keefe blew his top when no Lts. applied for the Command spot under Weis. Command spots will now be done by reverse seniority! You will be working 80 hours a week. You will ignore your family. You will take 26 furlough days for the privilege. It sucks to be the new guy.

Word around town is that 24 unpaid furlough days aren't enough for Shortshanks - he wants six more before the end of the year, making it an even 30 days. One-twelfth of your salary if you're unfortunate enough to have a gold star.

No wonder no one wants the spot.
