 = Who had a Lt? We took the youngest, strongest guy and made him the cranker. Since I started out in the 05B course before finding out I had a 'ham fist' and couldn't send more than 13 gpm, they made me the cranker. Their claim was that as a 11B3S, I could provide cover for the commo guy. Like after cranking that damn thing while he's loading the antenna, establishing contact, Tx outgoing and Rx incoming, I was lucky if I could wiggle my little finger, let alone pick up my M-16 and shoot at someone!

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind.
Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
