Ink Man Leaves Mark -- Erik Cagle
He didn't seem to lose his sense of humor, and managed to pick up more than $600 on a bet. After graduating OCS, he had a little fun at some enlisted men's expense, stating that officers were "born of superior blood and breeding..." and went so far as to say that an officer could be picked out of a group of enlisted men by looks alone. The bet was for everyone in the group to strip naked, and the first soldier from another unit to come upon them would be asked to pick out the officer from the cast of naked characters. The first soldier to come upon them did, in fact, pick out Gans as the officer. Naturally, Gans had planted the soldier over the hill and had planned the scheme all along. Frankly, I think a soldier who came upon a group of naked men would be more susceptible to turning and running.
