As if we don't do enough already.

"Ma'am, your ID and this name don't match."

"I know, as I was just trying to explain, I'm clearing for my husband because he's already in the field at his next duty station."

"You can do that?"

"Yep. With a power of attorney, which is right there underneath the clear sheet."

"Really?"

"Yes. I've already done so at three agencies before I came to see you. You can ask your supervisor though if you want to double check."

"No, I believe you. Wow. I didn't know you could do that. When it comes time for me to clear, I'll have to get my wife in on it. You know, cut some of my work in half."

"Don't you even dare."

OMG! He could soon find himself single again! Can you imagine that conversation? "You want me to do what?! Are your legs broken? What are you smoking?"
