Captain Ron Venderly Posted Sunday, August 14, 2011 05:29 PM "P.M.S. & T." was the official title - Professor of Military Science and Tactics. As a wise-off freshman I revised it to "Pot Metal Shaper and Trimmer" to amuse Diane Ferber in the hallway between classes one day. Captain Venderly overheard - and I was reprimanded later, in private. Captain Venderly gave regular ten-question quizzes in freshman military class. One session the topic was tactical radio communications. The interrogative: what is a group of linked radios called? Future Cadet Lt. Col. and Cadet Battalion Commander Don Luepke answered "a network." The answer was incorrect, according to the P.M.S.&T. The acceptable response was "net." The argument that "net" was a shortened form of "network" didn't make the impression on Captain Venderly that Don hoped. The answer stood as wrong. |
