I have to admit that at the time, while I was 25 years old, I looked like I was 15 (I got a lot of double-takes when they noticed my military rank). I was generally quiet and spoke softly in any case. Not a great combination for a military officer! The going away gift I got when I moved on to my next assignment was a whip! Getting results didn't require being noisy.It was fun. Thanks for the comment.Bruce Laura,

And rude behavior (whether or not you have more experience) is just plain wrong. You kept trying, obviously, and you have a great attitude about it!
