91!  Are you kidding us here? If not, amazing and if so, I think we have found our statesman! 

While in basic training there was this wonderful Puerto Rican man in our company.  He was 39 and was our inspiration and of course, was nabbed with the endeared nickname "Pops."  He was supposed to go to jump school with us but had to change plans after he had too much trouble with his arches.  It was a tremendous blow to us to lose our "Pops."  He joined the army because he needed a job. 

On a side note, one of my most angry times was when we were standing in the lunch line and a drill sergeant was going up and down the line asking us questions so he could ridicule us.  He came to Pops and asked him where he was from and after he told it was Puerto Rico, the drill Sgt replied how he had been to Puerto Rico once and got VD from a hooker and maybe it was Pops' wife or mother.  I wanted to hit that fucker so badly. 

We gotta love and respect our elders!  Especially when they are DB fans.....
