Letter: From Outside

(excerpt)

...Your military experience was interesting! I was an officer in the Air Force. I retired as a Major. The Air Force is all about intellectual growth. They do have some physical requirements, but they are minimal. When the Iraq War (Desert Shield and Desert Storm) came up they gave me the option to go! Wow. That's really special because I did not have to feign being gay or using drugs. Then they paid for my bachelor's and master's degrees. At the end of my career they promoted me to LTC but then I had to go to Afganistan to wear the rank in retirement....
... o.k do you want to know about my drug use? It's been the opposite of yours but let me know -- you may find it interesting. Can you write me exactly what you said when they asked "was the pot any good?" I'm dying to know -- please!

Response:

Whaddup -- sure, you can tell me about your drug experience if you want to. By opposite of mine, do you mean that you've done everything 'except' for pot? Or that you haven't done anything at all? Did you do it while in the military?

Heh, I left out my response to the question because it was rather anti-climactic. The effect it had on the people in the room was drastically more interesting than what I said, which was a slightly over-enthusiastic "yes, sir."
