Okay, this is what I was doing:

Actually, I *failed* to do it. It all came down to the last night of evaluation, and my final radio call (a MEDEVAC request.) Those of you in the military are familiar with the radio procedure for speaking numbers so as to avoid confusing similar-sounding ones. For you civilians:

one = one
two = two
three = tree
four = fo-wer
five = fife
six = six
seven = seven
eight = eight
nine = niner
zero = zero

I used the words three and five instead of tree and fife, and that was it. NO- GO. The MEDEVAC is one of two mandatory pass events (along with CPR.) So that's that. There should be another class in March, and assuming I'm not patching up our kids in Iraq I should have a chance to retest.

Please leave heaps of sympathy in the comments section below.
