THE COAST GUARD ACADEMY glee club was performing at the 1990 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., and we cadets were put up with Coast Guard families for the weekend. My friend Rob somehow managed to borrow the district commander's car through his host-sponsor, and he used it that night on liberty. The next morning, we boarded a transport plane for the return trip. We had been airborne for 21/2 hours when the pilot's voice came on the intercom. I saw Rob's face go ashen as the pilot said, "The admiral's on the radio, and he wants to know which cadet has his car keys."
