Life truly blows when you can't even afford Nattie Lite. Title: Re: We bought it!

Yeah but for every A1C that uses the card as directed, you probably had just as many A1C's abusing the cards. 11 years active AF. Worked in investigations for awhile. Too many stories to tell.

I don't doubt it. Not for a second. But I sure as hell could have used one. Floating the richest nation on earth for weeks at a time put a serious dent in my mojo. Besides, I was a good airman. :angel: Title: Re: We bought it! Post by: spacey on April 09, 2008, 11:20:00 AM It seems my employer has 4 accountants for each employee with a purchasing card. I wouldn't even be able to sneak a cup of coffee past.
