I learnt the power of NO when I refused to march in cadence in the army hehehe!
No one ever dared to fuck with me ever after that, partly because I totally obliterated the alphas on disassembling & assembling my murder weapon blind at half their best time ;-)
The Cold War was quite an insane event to experience too...
I only had to tell my DI “NO” to his face in front of my training squadron once. No “sir” no nothing. After that he tried to pull the “give me 50” routine, and I did without breaking a sweat. He gave up after that. Of course, I was in a lot better condition, then. I was caught in the last draft before Nixon killed it.
