Where the LT is from?

LUNCH AT THE O’CLUB

One day, an Airforce Colonel went to the Officer's Club to eat lunch. When he entered the main dining room, he found the place was quite crowded. He did notice three Lieutenants sitting at a table with one empty chair, so he asked them if he could sit there.

They promptly invited him to join them. He ordered his lunch and joined them in conversation as they ate. At one point, the Colonel mentioned that he had observed characteristics about officers from which he could determine the sources of their commissioning. The Lieutenants were eager to hear about this and asked if he could tell how they had been commissioned.

The Colonel turned to the Lieutenant on his left and said he went through ROTC. The Lieutenant confirmed that was correct and asked how the Colonel had noted this. The Colonel replied that the Lieutenant, through his conversation, seemed to have a strong academic background and limited military experience.

The Colonel then told the Lieutenant on his right that he had gone through OCS with previous enlisted service. The Lieutenant confirmed that this was correct and also asked how the Colonel had determined this. The Colonel said, again through his conversation, that the Lieutenant seemed to have a firm military background and a lot of common sense.

The Lieutenant across the table from the Colonel asked if he had determined his source of commission. The Colonel replied that the Lieutenant had graduated from the United States Airforce Academy. The Lieutenant stated that was correct and asked if the Colonel had noticed his high level of intelligence, precise military bearing, or other superior qualities acquired at the United States Airforce Academy. The Colonel replied that it was none of these that led to his determination. The Colonel had simply noted the Lieutenant's class ring while he was picking his nose.
