Subject: That's very odd. I'd never heard of standing at attention etc at 5pm. What do they do with spouses and families that just don't care about that? I'm sure there are a few who say, "I'm not the one in the military, it's just her/his job." Anyway, I wasn't too thrilled with Frank either. Her son hits her and her husband blames her for not telling him, when the son owned up to it on his own. Was she supposed to distract him on the battlefield with that kind of information? That could get him killed! Frank's not acting rationally. Though he almost died a week before, I'm not sure I'd be rational either.
In reply to: Kim 's message, "Would like to add I laughed so hard at the pool scene when the two boys wouldn't stop fighting during retreat. Leblanc would get so busted for this in real life LOL! They are very serious about this retreat thingy if driving at retreat time, we used to have to stop our cars, turn off the engine and stand beside the car until retreat was over. In the middle of a ballgame,... no don't pitch that ball it's almost time for retreat. Don't you know the whole world stops and stands at attention at 5? LOL!" on 09:12:33 07/09/07 Mon

[> [> [> And then once off base you can't hardly function without reveille, retreat and taps LOL! At reveille the flag goes up and retreat the flag goes down and is folded up. Taps signals the end of the day not odd once you get used to it. -- Kim, 15:51:14 07/11/07 Wed [1]
