DURING COLLEGE, I entered an Army ROTC program and trained at Fort Bragg, N.C. One rainy night, I was assigned guard duty. Hours later – cold, wet and tired – I spotted a relief truck and ran toward it. But instead of the expected replacement guard, a captain jumped from the vehicle. "What are you supposed to say?" he yelled.
I quickly responded, "Hark! Who goes there?" rather than the correct "Halt! Who goes there?" I spent the next 15 minutes doing push-ups in the rain, repeating, "This is the United States Army, not a Shakespearean festival."
