The advantages of working in a military environment

Yes, there are some...like the fact that nobody noticed when I wore the same pair of pants two days in a row because the rest of my clothes haven't arrived yet. And then there's the fact that we "outrank" everyone in the office except the boss. That earns us a lot of respect - but we're working on getting everyone to call us by our first names instead of Ma'am and Sir. ... We were invited to witness a re-upping for one of our colleagues and a promotion ceremony for another. We feel privileged to be working with such a bright, professional, and friendly group of folks.
