Another Lesson for You Officer-Wannabes

A "GUNG-HO" CAPTAIN, I was assigned to the military training center at Lackland Air Force Base. Once an airman walked into my office unannounced. "Haven't you been taught respect for officers?" I barked. "Go back outside, knock, and wait for me to tell you to enter!"

She didn't come back, but ten minutes later my sergeant, who had office privileges, walked in. "Aren't you coming?" he said. "I sent someone to get you. The staff is gathered next door with a cake for your birthday."
