A few years ago I worked as a radio operator with the Second Infantry Division in Korea..     Traffic over the radio came fast and furious, and it became apparent early on that handling it all was a special skill.   During one particularly hectic day I took a break and walked past another unit, where an operator calmly manned three radios while flawlessly taking down messages.   Later I ran into the soldier and remarked how impressed I was with his cool efficiency.  “What’s your secret?” I asked.  I had training as a civilian, “ he responded.  “I worked the McDonald’s drive-through.”                     Gregory Lipe
