After completing medical officer basic training, I was assigned to a small Army post. I noticed a large curved device supported by a labyrinth of steel girders. Anxious to show off my new knowledge of air-defense system, I pointed to the structure and said, “So that's our primary target acquisition radar?” “No, sir,” the sergeant replied. “That's the back of the drive-in movie screen.”
在完成了醫(yī)官的基本軍事訓練以后,我被分配到陸軍的一個小兵營去工作。我注意到一個由復(fù)雜的鋼梁結(jié)構(gòu)支撐的巨大的曲線裝置。我急于顯示我剛學來的空中防御系統(tǒng)的知識,就指著這個結(jié)構(gòu)說:“那么,這就是我們的一級目標采集雷達啰?”中士說:“不是,長官。這是免下車露天電影院屏幕的背面。”
