I came within a gnat's whisker of getting sent there. Had a whole, big discussion with a S1 Corporal about it. I had 1 year left to discharge, and to go to K-Bay, you have to have 2. He said I was refusing orders, and I said I just wasn't going to extend for a year. We went round and round like that for a few minutes, until the Squadron Legal Officer, a really pretty young Captain I had a few times... AHEM!... Came into the office. I called her over, told her the situation, and asked her advice. Acting like I didn't know her was NOT an easy thing, either...
Anyway, she told the Corporal to shut up and leave the Sergeant alone, and cut him different orders. He was mad as a wet hen, too. My smug grin didn't help much, either, I guess. So, I got a week to check off the base for an unaccompanied to Beaufort. Jerk.
He even tried to give me an RE-3.0 code, a bad re-enlistment code that would have prevented my re-enlisting if I had wanted to, in my SRB for refusing orders. Back to the Squadron legal officer we went. With the squadron SgtMaj. A hell of a man, named McDermott. The Corporal got reamed by the Legal Officer, and then SgtMaj McDermott took over. Never raised his voice, but the Corporal was nearly in tears when he got done...
And there went my RE-3.0 code. The corporal wound up loosing a stripe for his vindictiveness.
So, there's my K-Bay story, for what it's worth.
Great looking plane, too! Thanks for the paint job.
