army intelligence

When I was in combat in Vietnam I came back to a rear area for medical treatment, and got a look at my personnel file.  At the top of the first page was a box for IQ, where they'd scrawled "145."  I told the doctor that army life must be making me dumb; I'd had an IQ of 200 in junior high.  He said that you couldn't have a higher number than 145 -- that was a perfect score in the army's intelligence test!  How metaphor becomes reality when you put on a uniform!
