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 nearby
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."
