Interesting work you have penned. Sad if this is true. No true loyality or love in the military if it is true. Sara

It does not do any good for people to insist they are not animals, does it? Thank you for re-reading my Halloween short story! Aloha!

To keep up morale there are many ways its done....... But its strenuous work when its all left up to one....... Wonderful piece. I bow to the King of Limericks ! Sir Rico, you should be knighted.

Mahalo, Wendy. I remember when esprit de corps was left to one young wife in a mining camp in Tasmania, and it proved fatal. Aloha!

Somehow, Rico, I don't think this is how it's supposed to be...i.e. "a military wife may screw each man on her husband's work crew."

The operative word is "may". Young wives are indeed encouraged to "advance" their husband's career and Post privileges by "contributing" to the esprit de corps. It is called a Post because a Private's life is circulated. Aloha!
