Chuck Remembers . . . During our first week, due to failure of my roommate ’ s alarm clock, I was late arriving to perform First Class Minute Caller duty. Not yet under the demerit program, the Squadron Commander assigned me two weeks First Class Minute Caller duty. I seriously considered leaving the program before that two weeks of hell was over. I most definitely learned how to request permission to enter the quarters of the gentlemen of the First Class. ”
