It seems that a young Texas Aggie 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."
