My husband and I were stationed at Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC, where he worked with top-secret communication equipment.   One afternoon I watched as he and three other Marines struggled to set up a huge screen that looked like a television.     After they finished, I asked my husband if he was permitted to tell me what the screen was for.   He said that it would be used for communications, but that the higher ranks couldn’t know its intended use.   Confused, I asked, “Is it that top secret?”  “No,” he replied, “we’re gonna use it to watch football games.”                        J.
