ODS - Day 29 Ice Cream

Today was the first day I left the base to do something fun.

I was dressed in civilian attire but a friend of mine was in his summer whites.

While we were out getting ice cream, the waiter asked him if he was a cook in the Navy.

Then I realized what happened. The waiter read my friend's name plate and thought it was his job, not his last name. (Though I don't know how you miss the big crosses on his shoulder boards since he is a Christian chaplain.) It's a good thing that I was not in uniform. He would have asked me if I was a creditor for the Navy.
