Humoe in Uniform 7/7/2010

7/7/2010
One evening my new husband called to have me pick him up from work.  Since I had never been on the military post before, I was a little reluctant, but I agreed to attempt the task.  While I drove through the base, a young soldier in his camouflage uniform stepped out into the street. I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him, and the screeching tires attracted the attention of a nearby MP.    I was in tears as the officer approached my car.  “I didn’t see him!” I blurted out.  “Well ma’am,” the MP remarked, grinning at me, “that is kind of the point.”
