It seems that a young man
volunteered for military service during World
War II.
He had such a high aptitude for
aviation that he was sent right to Pensacola Naval Air Station,
skipping recruit training.
The very first day at Pensacola
he solos and is the best flier on the base.
All they could do was give him
his gold wings and assign him immediately to an aircraft carrier in the
Pacific.
On his first day aboard, he took
off and single-handedly shot down 6 Japanese fighter planes.
Then climbing up to 20,000 feet,
he found 9 more Japanese planes and shot them all down as well.
Noting that his fuel was getting
low, he descended, circled the carrier and came in for a perfect
landing on the deck.
He threw back the canopy, climbed
out and jogged over to the captain. Saluting smartly he said, "Well
sir, how did I do on my very first day?"
The captain turned around, bowed
politely, and replied, "You make onry one velly, velly selious
mistake!"
