Always made me laugh
Growing up on Military bases was a bit of a trip. As a teenager, I drove one of the family cars when I went off base, the car had a special sticker on the front left bumper that allowed me to drive through the checkpoint gate without having to stop and show ID. It also had an insignia indicating my father's rank of Colonel.
The fun part? The young, well armed MP's had to salute the car no matter who was driving it. So here I am, a long-haired teenager returning from being out with friends being saluted by the straight laced buzz cut cops. I loved it. I didn't return the salutes.
Okay, sometimes I did when I felt like being a smartass.
