Beth;
Speaking of the military I was in the Air Force until 1967. In 1964 I was stationed at a Radar Site and the computer at Ent Air Force Base (Headquarters of Air Defense Command) had a problem and we were not paid for three months! We had a special Commanders Call (typically a monthly scheduled meeting between all personal and the Commander of the Base or Radar Site). We were told of the problem with the computer and then given this message:
“Do not depend upon your Air Force pay check as a means of income”!
In 1965 the Air Force lost my pay records for three months when I transferred to Security Service. Such fond memories!
When I received my Discharge I promised myself I would NEVER WAIT IN ANOTHER LINE! As you can imagine I have stood in many lines since becoming a civilian! :)

>This is true also for the military. When I joined the army, We had to stand in line and report to the Pay Master for our Monthly pay. And there were 2 guards present with weapons, at that room or area.

>Today, there are no lines and the money is sent straight to our bank accounts.
>That change took less then 20 years.

>>Yes, times change and most of us go with the flow.
