Just before our first long deployment, two Navy buddies and I were talking about the stress of leaving our families.
A senior officer, a veteran of many deployments, overheard our conversation and offered the following advice: “You must be sensitive to your wives’ emotional needs,” he said. “Never, ever, whistle while you pack.”

As he was driving home from work, a man in a rural community was stopped by a local police officer. The motorist, informed that he had failed to come to a full stop at a stop sign, was handed a ticket.
“Don’t I get a warning?” he protested. The officer replied, “Sure. Here’s your warning: If you don’t come to a complete stop next time, I’ll give you another ticket.”
