Humor in Uniform 6/1/2011

6/1/2011
Officiating at an Air Force wedding, I was impressed with how meticulous the groom and his attendants looked in their formal uniforms. The bride’s brother, a Coast Guard officer candidate, arrived just before the start of the ceremony. There was a gasp as he took his place beside the others, donning a pair of white gloves, which were standard for his uniform. The gloveless Air Force officers were embarrassed by his inconsistency among the men. “Not to worry,” assured the proud but outnumbered brother, as he removed his gloves. “My senior officer told me if this happened, I should lower my sights to comply with the Air Force standards.”
