    A young man volunteered for military service during World War
    II. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was sent right to
    Pensecola skipping boot camp.

    The very first day at Pensecola 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 Zeroes. Then climbing up to 20,000 ft. he found 9 more Japanese
    planes and shot them all down, too.
    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 replied, "You make one velly impoltant mistake!"
