In it were all my old school reports. Ah, fond memories of the happiest days of my life, I thought. I stopped reading by about the fifth grade. <br /><br />And it went on in the Army with remarks on my Anuual Confidential Reports including: Lt Gowans is sometimes intolerant of those less able than himself (meaning Arrogant Shit written by then Major, later General Adrian Lyons) and, Captain Gowans is going to have to learn to control his ego if he is not to limit his future in the service (meaning, Arrogant Shit, written by Lt Col Roy Lennox), both very perceptive officers. I was still graded outstanding though, to the bewilderment of some of my peers.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-74097326634881536512012-03-28T11:41:06.204+01:002012-03-28T11:41:06.204+01:00Chip off the old block.Chip off the old block.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487456386841182116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-59109689486557897972012-03-28T00:56:42.289+01:002012-03-28T00:56:42.289+01:00Your son being advnaced in bodily functions... cou...Your son being advnaced in bodily functions... could be in the genes or environment given the sdubject matter of some previous posts.Nigel Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316662790230511444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-9458667136989199622012-03-27T23:41:30.084+01:002012-03-27T23:41:30.084+01:00I hope all goes well for Alex!
