Dear Admiral Banes,
My name is Lawrence Christensen and I am a Lieutenant-Commander in your Navy. I enlisted as a young man at age 22 years and through much dedication and hard work have achieved my present rank. When I was promoted I received a new uniform and hat. The uniform is of impeccable quality, but the hat is lopsided. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but whenever I address the men they all laugh at me and say things like, “Here comes Lopsided Larry” or “Let’s shove a burning candle in Larry’s ass and kick him down the stairs”.
So I am officially submitting a request for a new hat.
Sincerely,
Lieutenant-Commander Lawrence Christensen
Naval District 1
Canada
