Let me set the scene. We were lying in bed in the middle of the night awake. HF was laying on his back and I was spooning his side with my right leg draped over him. He was playing with my hair. It was pure bliss. I whispered and asked, like many do in this situation, "What are you thinking about?"
HF was quiet for a moment and then he answered softly, "Head shots".
*crickets*
Me: what?!
HF: I'm visualizing making accurate head shots with my AR compensating for mechanical offset.
Me: That's messed up.
HF: No it's not. We're encouraged to do that
*goes on to describe the visualization process to lucky ol' me*
Me: And I thought the prolonged silence meant you were thinking romantical thoughts about me...
Yeah, that sounds just about right. :-)
ReplyDeleteYup...it definitely sounds just about right to me too!
ReplyDeleteI really believe that our husbands, fathers, uncles and sons that work to protect the people really eat, sleep and play the role. I know that is what it is like at my house. Service men all of the time.
ReplyDeleteI actually laughed out loud reading this! TOO funny!! I've been there so many times...
ReplyDeleteI love this. I shared it on my police wives page. But I added your website as the author. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHead Shots... Try living with a Police Sniper that thinks about nothing but that ONE WELL PLACED HEAD SHOT! I laughed out loud as well when I read this.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome post indeed. Totally agreeing here. Hi I am a cop from Pakistan.
