As an added bonus, they didn't really believe that I would go through with it, so they waited until the last day to ask to be briefed on my projects. I told them there had been plenty of time to have already done that. I was going to clear base.

We had a guy at the nuke plant resign with a single day notice. The entire text of his resignation letter was simply "Please accept my resignation."

When they asked him about turning over to a replacement, he asked them who they had in mind. When they didn't have an answer, he decided he might as well call it done that day since he didn't have anybody to turn over to anyway. He was a hero to those of us that knew we would be bailing but hadn't quite figured out where we wanted to go.

I was told years later that after I up and quit, other people realized they could do the same. There was a mass exodous of my friends there over the next year. One of them suggested they erect a statue in my honor in Warner Robins to give hope to all who still were there. The base would say: " 'You don't need to put up with this. Just quit.'- Captain Worley"
