I'VE BEEN WANDERING AROUND THIS HUGE MILITARY BASE on CORONADO ISLAND today & I just realized why I feel somewhat comfortable around the military; my dad has some of that "military" milieu in him from his two duties of service in the national guard & my uncle was a career man in the army (lieutenant colonel). They conveyed some of that military duty to us...I NEVER thought of my dad as a "miltary man" before but suddenly I realized that's part of his "ethic."
