You’d be surprised. I managed to get two daughters through their teens and into their twenties. I’ve seen most of these at one time or another. The best one was when the newly minted 2lt looked me in the eye, shook my hand and said, “nice to meet you sir.”
My heart melted just a little. I like being called sir.
Having been an Ensign (2nd LT better :) I can state unequivocally that he had you in one line... have your blade at the ready always you can’t assume based on the nice words :)
