When my husband joined the Coast Guard, I knew there would be some adjustments.   Not only did I have to get accustomed to his short haircut, but also to his sailor lingo.  I eventually got used to him saying aye instead of yes, but nothing prepared me for the night when I was seven months pregnant and trying to roll over in bed.  In his sleep, with a very military-sounding voice, my husband shouted at the top of his lungs, “She’s comin’ in on the port side!”
