AS A NAVY HELICOPTER PILOT, I often made at-sea transfers to ships steaming alongside our carrier, the USS Intrepid. The wind's direction is important to copters hovering above receiving vessels. Since the ships normally steam in formation, it wasn't easy to get the duty officers on board to alter course to create favorable wind conditions. So I learned that the secret to getting agreeable movement was to announce, "We have mail aboard for you."

The immediate response would be "Where would you like your wind?"
