Had an interesting little event today. While in the DFAQ (the dining facility) for whatever reason you are not allowed to wear a hat. They get pretty anal about it too. The first week I was hear I got caught twice and told to take my hat off by one of the high ranking US officers here. SINCE then I have been very good and have always taken it off. Well today for lunch I forgot. Oops. A couple minutes after sitting down this older civilian who I have never seen or noticed before aggressively comes over and chews me out for wearing my hat, saying that I had been warned before and that he BETTER not catch me again. I was more surprised than anything. I was like, who the heck are you? Jeez, you would think I committed a major security violation or something. In any case my coworkers and I all had a good laugh about this guy’s over reaction as we retold the story to everyone. I guess I’ll be extra careful about my hat from now on. I am also very careful to gleefully tip my hat to him every time I see him NOT in the DFAQ. He kinda just glares at me with this disgusted look… it’s great.
