During the first day of Navy Boot Camp, the lieutenant in charge had a stack of cards with each person’s name on it. He said, “When I read of your name, I want you to step forward, say ‘Here sir’, then salute me, and then get back to where you were!”
Lieutenant: “Andrews!”
Andrews: “Here Sir!”
Lieutenant: “Cooper!”
Cooper: “Here Sir!”
Lieutenant: “Seeback!” (No response) “Seeback! (Still no response) “I said Seeback!”
The admiral next to him whispers something in his ear. The lieutenant then turns the card over and says: “Lodge!”
Lodge: “Here Sir!”
