COMPLETING her basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, my daughter Priscilla
was selected for special training at Fort Devens, Mass. Twice a day, her flight
crew marched a mile back and forth to class. They marched to chow, to church
and to everywhere else.
On her first leave, Priscilla arrived at El Paso International Airport wearing
civilian dress and a pair of new high heels. We then visited relatives, had
lunch and went shopping. On the way to the house, Priscilla leaned back in her
seat and slipped off her shoes. "Boy," she said with a sigh of relief,
"I wish I'd worn my combat boots home!"
