All in the Family
When my husband was away at basic training, my four-year-old daughter and I stayed with my sister. Since my daughter already called me Mommy, she started calling her aunt Mom—the way her six-year-old cousin did.
One day, someone called. I picked up the extension and overheard the person ask my daughter if her daddy was home.
She said, “No, he’s in the Army.”
“Is your mom home?” he asked.
“Yes, but she’s asleep with Uncle Danny.

Language Barrier
As a young officer on the USS Midway, I was enjoying shore leave in Marseille. One day, I was invited to a local club to play tennis with two young Frenchwomen and a Norwegian man, who spoke only the most rudimentary English. After the doubles match, the Norwegian and I changed back into our street clothes and waited for the women to rejoin us.
“You fly?” he said to me.
I told him I was a ship's officer, not a naval aviator. After a pause to take in my response, he tried again.
“You fly,” he said slowly, “is open.”

After returning home from basic training, our friend’s son told us about some of the interesting people he’d met, including one guy nicknamed Airborne. “Do the guys call him Airborne because he wants to be a paratrooper?” his mother asked. “No, that’s not it,” said her son. “He got that name because on his first night, he fell out of the bunk.”

Justice for All
When I wear my Air Force uniform, strangers often come up to me to thank me for my service to the country.
Once I was in the parking lot of a county jail, waiting to take custody of a military inmate. A prisoner walked by, carrying a bag of garbage to the Dumpster, escorted by a corrections officer.
As he passed me, the inmate turned and—quite sincerely—said, “Thank you for my freedom!” before being taken back inside.

Seriously Ill
Some sailors have a well-deserved reputation for concocting excuses to get out of work detail. Case in point: My husband’s fellow officer got a call from a sailor saying he was sick and there was no way he could leave the barracks.
“What’s wrong?” the lieutenant asked.
“I’m in a coma,” he responded.
