The Drill Sgts I worked with were afraid of my wife. Occasionally, they would need to call me in the wee hours of night for various reasons and the phone was on her side of the bed (Ah, good old land lines!) so it was she that answered and not very pleasantly. She'd cuss them lout for their lack of planning or fore sight then give me the phone.

They called her the Dragon Lady and they would draw straws to see who would call. I always cracked up when I'd get to the unit to provide them with their needed items and listen to veterans of Vietnam expressing fear of the Dragon Lady!
