Way too much spit and polish, far too much saluting. I was accustomed to actually having a job to go to each day, not being a poser.<br />Besides that, it was too dry and precious little oxygen. I had been living in an area for two years that was 100 feet below sea level and had a monsoon season. I was at the Academy for only a few days and went to the hospital thinking I was having a serious medical event. My lips looked like someone had sliced them repeatedly with razor blades, my skin was like a fine powder and I couldn't climb a flight of stairs without nearly passing out. The flight surgeon said I was fine, but that it would take a number of weeks/months for my body to produce enough blood to provide me with the oxygen I needed.<br />I was only there for a few months and got reassigned to a base in Austin.<br />The morning came for me to leave, I packed up my belongings in my Triumph Spitfire, rolled down the IH to Pueblo, and when I turned southeast towards the panhandle I saw the Rocky mountains in my rear view mirror. I rolled down the window, extended my left arm and gave the vision a gesture of digit disdain, along with some colorful adjectives and a promise to never return.<br />Like Lewis Grizzard said about Georgia, when I got my feet back in Texas I nailed them to the ground.<br /><br />n2lAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
