One woman asked the petty officer what it's like steering a submarine underwater with only sonar for guidance. "Well, ma'am," he answered, "if you painted your car's windshield black, then drove down the freeway by listening out your window, it would be pretty close."

WHEN I WAS WITH the 12th Strategic Missile Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base at Great Falls, Mont., I overheard a lieutenant complaining to his commanding officer. It seems that a major with one child was being assigned to a four-bedroom family quarters while he, a lieutenant who had three children, was assigned to a three-bedroom unit.
"In the Air Force," the colonel explained, "housing is assigned by ability, not fertility."
