The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
I always thought the most dangerous critter in the world was a newly-minted Second Lieutenant with a map, a compass and a plan . . . but these five aren't bad!
By far the most dangerous of the five is the second one, "A sergeant saying 'Trust me, sir...'". Believe me. Been there, done that, and my blood ran cold just reading it. And remembering...
My experience as a lieutenant (US Army, 1973-77) squares with Fred's. As in when the brigade commander strolled into my office and asked why some of my trainees were up on a telephone pole splicing wires. "Top! Please fill in COL Sullivan on your latest."

Most dangerous thing in the oilfield is a Cajun with a water hose.
Most dangerous thing in the factory is an engineer with a new catalog.
