I apologize – only to a certain extent – for the click-bait of that title. To clarify, my wife, Nancy, does not have cancer. She is helping fight children’s cancers. At this point, I will pretty much do anything in order to help my wife make her goal of $10,000 all in support of the …

The Shirt Stay Incident
When I was stationed in Maryland back in 96-99, I would sometimes have to report for duty up at Ft Meade, MD. Due to the high profile of my duty station at the time, Commander, Naval Security Group, I was required to wear my dress uniform more often than not. I had no problem wearing …
