Goodnight SE Mom, and please tell your son or daughter that I thank him or her for his or her service (and I'm sorry I haven't been around enough to know which).

Here's a funny story (to me, and hopefully to others). When I was pregnant and in law school in my last semester, JAG came for interviews. I REALLY wanted to interview for JAG. However, being 7 months pregnant, all I wanted to do was to read "What to Expect When You're Expecting," and fix everything up. so I didn't go. Plus, I was never good at gym and knew I'd flunk basic training. :)

So a few weeks ago my dad came out to visit. He used to be a very powerful lawyer, but after a case of meningitis, he's not the same. So I got a digital tape recorder and started interviewing him about old times. And I told him how I wanted to be in JAG.

He said, "I almost went into JAG, too!"

I said, "You're kidding! You wanted to give back to the country, do something for the greatest country on the planet, right?"

He said (very slowly), "Well, no. I had an appointment with the draft board and I was trying to get out of going to Korea." :)
