Humor in Uniform

This one I sent in to Readers Digest. So I could not embelish the story more. I had to keep it down to a certain number of words and frame work. It's a true story of one when I was a Navy Instructor in Pensacola, Florida. The guy in the story was kinda geeky. He was a student in the school. Each of the students had rotating watches across the base. It was a school command and very regimented. Hope you like it.

    As a Navy Instructor I had duty one evening. I made rounds across the base to check on each of my students at their posts. Some were assigned to patrol parking lots. Their duties were to walk around the lot ensuring no damage due to break ins and protect the safety of personnel.
    I had one student in a parking lot that I was responsible for and I did not see a head bobbing above the cars in the parking lot and thought it strange. So I started a search for this patrol and when I found him he was sitting on the hood of this well kept beautiful red camaro. His dirty boots were on the shinny front bumper.
    As I approached him I called him by name and told him to get off the car. His body became rigid and his head shot straight up looking at the starlit sky.
    I got closer, wondering about his inactivity and called him again by name. He relaxed and turned to look at me. He was relieved and said to me oh it’s you. "I thought God was talking to me!"
