As a sergeant stationed at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington D.C., I dated a communications sergeant from the 89th Airlift Wing. Frequently, because of last minute mission requirements, our personal plans had to be changed. One day before my boyfriend and I were to attend a wedding, I came home to an interesting message on my answering machine: “Ma’am,” said a male voice, “this is the Andrews Command Post relaying a message from Sergeant Smith, who is traveling with the Secretary of State. He says he’s sorry, but he’s out of the country, and so the wedding is off.” After a pause, the operator continued in a concerned, unofficial tone, “I hope that’s okay, ma’am.”
