No one was more surprised than Radar about his unexpected promotion, from Corporal to Lieutenant. If Colonel Potter hadn't been in the middle of a shave and
asked Radar to read the letter from I-Corps out loud, Radar wouldn't have believed at all. But being a Lieutenant wasn't at all what he'd expected. For one thing, he
admittedly liked the advances of Lieutenant Baker, who wanted Radar to kiss her. And people were saluting him! Sure, it was nice and his ma would be proud, but
he liked being a corporal a lot better.
