My Mom was a WWII Vet. When she was planning her retirement from teaching, the district superintendent asked all the men if they had military time to buy back. He skipped over my Mom. As he was continuing, she quietly raised her hand. The guy noticed, and Mom said, “You didn’t ask me about military time.” He blustered on.
