Did you know, I was an Operator

No foolin'.  Got me at the ripe young age of 19.  Lots of responsibility at that job.  Lives depended on me.  I decided to become an Officer, though, because the pay was better and I wanted a chance to fly.  That didn't work out due to a training mishap.  After that, years of almost drowning myself in beer.

I've turned it around since then.
