Inspection Tour of Mesopotamia - Stand Down!

[US Scout]

Victorian era Major Major-

That was the whole idea - you weren't supposed to do anything!  Just to look good while you weren't doing it.

[Dr. Bob]

US Scout,

Well, you certainly picked the one that could "look good doing it!"

RCJ,

Noting Brv't. Col. Robson's duty post, I expect that he would have agreed to the increase.  I would hope tha I am far enough north to qualify.

Think that a shot of rum is in order!

RCJ:
Since he's still with us, I'll certainly recommend that our CinC approve that request, himself!   

Dr. Bob:
Speaking of "looking good" ... you do realize, don't you, that had the temporary appointment taken effect I couldn't possibly have allowed you to see me at all ... unless i wasn't available, of course ...

[Dr. Bob]

Col. Robson Sir,

Had the command devolved upon your able shoulders, you would not have been able to find me to tell me that I counln't possbily see you! Harumpfh!!

YMH&OS,

Capt. R. H. Dorian
Brv't. LtC. Chief Topog. Engineer

Rest assured, Bvt. Col. Major Major sar, that the non commisioned officers of the GAF were fully prepared to dutifully and smartly misinterpret your directives  in order to achieve the best possible results . . .

[RattlesnakeJack]

Ah yes!  One can always rely on the non coms to do their best to safeguard the commissioned officers from their own folly and ignorance!   

[Old Top]

Rattlesnake Jack,

One can always hope so.
