I can imagine... I'm similar... and for those rare times, I generally
surprise people who thought they knew me well... :)

 CS> Navy folks do not suffer thieves well at all.  We live too tight

 CS> I was more tha a little suprised but i was just a sideline by then at
 CS> her mast case.   

A bad egg indeed... :(

 CS> She got off light with only 2 weeks but the CO's words were telling. 
 CS> 'I'm supposed to give you 3 chances then on 4th boot you out.  I wont

 CS> welcome to prove me wrong'. 
 CS> I think he was as hot as i was.

I wouldn't be surprised... and he's had to deal with her longer besides,
so possibly even hotter.  Too bad, too...  I wonder why she went into
the service in the first place... but perhaps she (or family) thought it
would be good for her...?  Or maybe she thought she could manipulate the
system...?  She is apparently one of that rare type that could get me to
lose my cool and usual sense of optimism that just about anyone could
change for the better...  Oh, I know there are probably many others
around like her, but thankfully I rarely need to be in contact with
them...

... In case of fire, do not use elevators.  Water works better.
