Hello,
Colleen - Jeremiah Weed
You may be trying a bit too hard to "fit in"
In the big missile world, we usually have the new troops report in to the missile combat crew by saluting the on site radar pole. We tell the new guy that the officer's in the capsule can see them through the camera mounted on the pole (no such camera exists). The less than star-bright troops will walk up to the pole and give the proper reporting statement. It's actually pretty funny. Have a good day!
