‘WAITING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT’



While waiting for my physical at the base hospital, I overheard a Chief Warrant Officer try unsuccessfully to get the medical personnel to issue him new eyeglasses without an appointment!

"Mister!"

… the general replied …

"If you can't tell an Admiral from a Captain, you better get some glasses!"

And just like that, the Chief Warrant didn't have to wait another minute for an appointment…
