Anyone wanting to take pictures on our base‘s airfield needs a letter from public affairs, which happens to be me. One day, while out snapping photos, I was stopped by the military police, who asked for my letter from public affairs. “But I am public affairs,” I said. “Without a letter from public affairs, we’ll have to take your camera.” I did the only thing I could do: I pulled a notepad and pen from my bag and wrote a letter giving myself permission to take photos. The MPs read the letter, saluted, and left. —Joe Macri
任何想在我们基地的机场拍照的人都需要一封来自公共事务部的信，这事恰好碰到了我。 一天，我出去拍照时，被宪兵拦住了，他们要我的公关信。 “但我是公共事务的，”我说“。 “没有公共事务部的信，我们将不得不没收你的相机。” 我做了我唯一能做的事：我从包里拿出记事本和笔，写了一封信，允许自己拍照。 议员们读了这封信，敬了个礼，然后离开了。 ——乔·马克里
