So guy I walk with everyday after work tells me, he was waitting for his wife to get out of the doc s office and two ladies doing a crossword puzzle asks him if he was military? He says yes I was in the army for a couple years. Gals ask him whats a 5 letter navy term for retreating? Dont know was army. So he asks me, tell him same thing dont know was army. Asked around the bus barn even the navy guys dont know so I said I can ask the experts they know everything that needs knowing. So any clever answers? All I came up with was 1 letter short SWIM.
