And I was never allowed to drive a standard transmission vehicle in the Guard again. I didn't have the opportunity at Ft. Stewart, and never went to a unit that had standard-transmission vehicles after that. Never had a POV with standard transmission either.

OK, so I can't drive a standard! I'm 58 years old and can't drive a standard! And I'm too damn old to learn now!
Get over there on the Group W bench.

NOW, Son!
