Goosey,
Obviously you were not above having worked there with your pompous moral standards. At least USMC remembered to get his gear up in a timely manner and has the opportunity if he chooses to work there again. There is some humor in your book but obviously you did not play the game well there. the key is fitting in and not rocking the boat too much so that in 6-8 years in China you will leave with a $1.5 million portoflio and retire never to have to fly again unless its it your own small aircraft.
