Lift-Ticket was one of those guys who joined the Army to get out of his home town. The big difference with Lift-Ticket was that he scored so high on the aptitude test that he qualified for West Point Prep O.C.S. and Flight Warrant Officer School. Nobody in Lawton, OK ever suspected he was that smart. Apparently, neither did Lift-Ticket, since he opted for Flight Warrant school over the others thinking that it was the only one that offered training applicable to civilian employment.
