ID THEFT

REMEMBERING BASIC TRAINING AT LAUREL MISSISSIPPI DURING WORLD WAR 2. SMALL TOWN, WONDERFUL PEOPLE TREATED US LIKE THEIR OWN SON. I WAS IN AN ARMY AIR CORPS SQUADRON, TOTAL ABOUT 300 TROOPS. THIS WAS NEW TO COUNTRY BOYS SUCH AS I. I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE NEATNESS AND HABITS OF SEVERAL FELLOWS AND ONE IN PARTICULAR. THIS PARTICULAR ONE WOULD NEVER CALL HIS GIRL FRIEND UNTIL FINISHING SHAVING, SHOWERING, SHAMPOO AND APPLYING A VERY LIGHT FRAGRANCE THAT I SUSPECT THAT LADIES WERE ATTRACTED TO THOUGH HAD VERY LITTLE ATTENTION FROM BUDDIES. WE ALL LIKED THIS FELLOW AND SOMEONE ASKED HIM IF SHE WAS BLONDE OR BRUNETTE ? THAT QUESTION SORT OF OPENED HIM UP. MORE QUESTIONS FROM ONE GUY WHICH SHOULD HAVE RAISED A RED FLAG, BUT NO AS HE FINISHED POLISHING UP, EVEN TOLD US EXACTLY WHERE SHE WAITED FOR HIM TO GET OFF THE BUS THAT CAME FROM THE POST TO THE DOWNTOWN BUS STOP. THEN CAME THE MOVE TO USE A DIRTY TRICK AS MEAN AS MODERN IDENTITY THEFT. AFTER THE NEAT ONE MADE THE CALL TO THE GIRL FRIEND, THAT NO GOOD CHARACTER THAT HAD 'PUMPED' FOR INFORMATION WENT OUT AND JUMPED IN A TAXICAB AND WENT RIGHT TO THE BUS STOP AND THERE WAS THE NEAT GIRL FRIEND WAITING. THE NO GOOD CHARACTER TOLD HER THAT HE HAD SAD NEWS, HER FRIEND HAD JUST BEEN CONFINED TO POST AND ASKED HIM TO MEET THE GIRL AND EXPLAIN THINGS AND POSSIBLY ENTERTAIN HER THIS EVENING. OF COURSE SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED ,HOWEVER SPENT SOME TIME WITH HIM, LEARNING NEXT DAY OF HER FRIEND WAITING AT THAT BUS STOP FOR HER AND WORRYING ABOUT WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. NO, WE CANNOT BE TOO CAREFULL OF DIVULGING INFORMATION. sam
