@Rich - Like I said, my initial intent was to use Thinking and Logic as a more 'elegant' solution as opposed to The Brute Force Method. Getting bullied by The Team was just an added bonus.
This kind of reminds me of the joke about securing a building:
How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces!
If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do:
The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.
The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.
The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.
My callsign is Corky. There is not a good story there....it was decided that night that I resembled the kid from "Life Goes On" .... so that is what they came up with.
PS - Love working with Marines on the ground. Much less hemming and hawwing as compared to Big Army. "SEND IT!"
I had nothing useful to add so decided to bust balls instead . When I see you'll tell you about the time I did a CAS shoot in Kuwait in '98...with a B1(?) bomber being controlled by an AF O-5 who wanted us (Marine officers and enlisted) to call him "Bob." He refused to give the pilot a proper 9-line (we had nine lines back then), we were marking the target with a smoke round and 81mm morters were burning trash about 4k from the target.
