Chapter 2: Shave and a Haircut            No way!  I’m not going to waste my time with him anymore.  He’s the one thinking that he’s always right—like some kind of genius.  But the fact is, I met Dahlia—my Dollie—and I fell in love.              Really, he’s just jealous.            It’s not as if he could get a girl to date him if he wanted.  I’ve never met a more stuffy, insufferable, know-it-all in my entire life!            And to think we were best friends since grade school.  I don’t know what happened to him, but Germany changed him.  And not for the better.        

Chapter 3: Negative G’s            The first plane I ever flew was called the DA20 Falcon while I was at IFS training out near Pensacola.  I thought the plane was kind of funny looking.            But we have to start somewhere.            I remember feeling very unimpressed with this funny little plane.  For some reason, I thought we’d get a sexier plane right away.            All of my doubts about flying a funny little plane like that died once we got airborne.  I guess flying that plane is the equivalent of getting on your first bicycle with training wheels.  It’s enough to be able to move it on your own.
