512　The colonel is on his way 上校过来了

During the second Gulf War, I was an Air Force colonel. I routinely flew on different aircraft to familiarize myself with their capabilities. One day I was aboard an intelligence aircraft, where each crew member was surrounded by complex gear. A young major showed me his computer screen. “That's a chat screen, sir,” he said. “We use it to relay enemy information to the crew.” Nodding, I moved down the line. Flashing on an airman's screen several feet away was the warning: “Heads up—the colonel is on his way!”

第二次海湾战争期间，我是空军上校。我按惯例在各种飞机上飞行，以便熟悉它们的性能。有一天，我上了一架侦察机。飞机上每一个人身边都是一大堆复杂的设备。一个年轻的少校让我看他的电脑屏幕说：“长官，那是一个聊天屏幕。我们用它来转送敌人的信息给机上人员。”我一边点头一边往前走，看见在离我几尺远的机上人员的屏幕上闪烁着一条警告：“注意！上校过来了。”
