Title: Humor in Uniform 6/13/2010 Post by: R J on June 14, 2010, 02:00:15 AM 6/13/2010
When faced with overseas duty, I tried to soften the blow of my departure by telling my children we’d be able to buy special things with the extra money I’d earn for the assignment, such as a new car or a vacation. After I’d been in Asia for about six months, I received a tape recording from my children. When my oldest son spoke, he recounted the promise I’d made and then added, “Dad, can you stay a little longer so we can get a new television set, too?” Lowell C. Mullins |
