Wow, that's some dreaming!

I knew a guy who'd been in the navy back in the '70s and, as part of an exit
survey, was asked what it would take to get him to stick around for another
two years. His response of, "promotion to fleet admiral!" wasn't viewed as
funny. :-)

I actually had an uncle...

20 years in the Navy, retired

20 years in the Army, retired

Then became Sheriff of Killeen, TX.

Look him up, named Darl Godwin... my mother's brother.

I used to kid him that I'd drive thru Killeen at 100MPH, in my 280ZX,
to test his deputies. His response, "Don't do that, they'll shoot
you!"

Well, why do you think the first four letter of the name of that town
are K-I-L-L ? :-)

That's some real service to the country, certainly; sounds like a fine guy.

I've heard in the news that the leftist liberal weenies are whining about the
proposed crackdown on illegal immigrants in your state there... hope they're
not causing too much commotion. :-)

Ah, here we go:

"Arizona's proposed illegal immigration crackdown akin to Nazi tactics,
Cardinal Roger Mahony says." Yeah, sure...
