Responding to concerns that some members of the U. S. Navy had not lived up to the standards expected of them, the U. S. Navy has announced today the formation of the new Shore Leave Division. Members of this division will be specially trained in responsible drinking, as well as undergoing a whirlwind course in the etiquette of over two hundred cultures. Beginning on April 1st, 2004, every ship that puts out to sea will have a squadron or more of members of the new division, to take on the responsibilities and challenges of shore leave.

TM, my ex-roommate, is back in town. He spent a year in Pearl Harbor, working for Naval Intelligence. There is a great deal of fun to be had explaining to people that “TM used to be in the Army”. No matter how often you do this, he always corrects you. Politely, but he corrects you. “TM used to be in the army.” “Navy.” “Oh, yeah, TM’s ex-army.” “Navy.” It’s great fun.
