“Back on Planet Earth we strive for the OK pass, worth four points.” He wrote “OK” under the OK underlined. “This is an above-average pass flown with small or no deviations and the pilot giving appropriate and timely corrections. Below the OK is the Fair pass, which differs from the OK in that the deviations are acceptable rather than small in magnitude, and the corrections from the pilot are still appropriate and timely.” Creepy wrote an “OK” with parentheses around it, the abbreviation for a Fair pass. “A Fair pass is worth three points.”

“What the secretary of defense forgot with his concept of rightsizing is that, when you do the same with less, those left in the military wind up doing more.”
