We want to know:

- if it is true you made your three children fall outside every day for Roll Call in their diapers/scivvies at 0500 and respond loudly, "PRESENT, SIR !!" ??

- They had special sets of toothbrushes with which to perform some of the details of readiness for White Glove Inspections?

- The Ceremony of "Junk on The Bunk" was regarded as sacred in your household?

Should there be any questions, yes - I adhered to all the tried and true methods of rearing of children of military..:))

"We want to know:"

Yes, they did all those things, and double-timed five miles every morning before chow, although I had to slow the cadence down until they got out of diapers.

I always had to go with them to the first day of school to explain to the teachers that when they said they needed to go to the head, it meant they needed to use the restroom, when they referred to a stair it was going to be ladder, when they mentioned a wall it was going to be bulkhead and pogey bait was something they weren't allowed to have.
