I was the oldest in the neighborhood, so I got a lot of babysitting work. (My dad was a senior officer on the carrier, and the squadron pilots were 15-20 years younger.) I was so clueless - I don’t think I realized older men were hitting on me until I was already married!

There was a time when I was 18 or 19, I went to the Officers’ Club with Dad, and he introduced me, with just my first name, to someone he knew from his staff. I heard the guy whisper, “I thought your wife’s name was Pat!”

On occasion I have this problem. Most of the time it seems to be recruits that I’m coaching on the firing line, in which case I proceed to write them counseling records for every safety issue I can.
After that they tend to suddenly lose interest in me.
