There's this annoying kid (ee wasn't born when I joined the army) in my unit, keeps butting in with unsolicited lame advice.:mad: I keep biting my tongue. Several other people find him annoying too.

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

You don't have to shoot him. Just tap him in the head with the other end of it. :)

Just be careful about exactly what you ask for. A few years ago I heard a story about someone sending the new guy at an airforce base out for '100 yards of flight line'. the new guy went back and forth a few times to make sure he understood correctly and then started up a backhoe and started digging. :doh:

Not if you hit him hard enough to kill him - accidentally of course - call it a training accident.
