As a joke it is good. But would an admiral really want to work in Walmart?

I know of a retired Wing Commander who got a job in a supermarket, he reckoned it got him out of the house, he met new people and got a discount on his shopping.

Not all senior military folk are the stuffy old duffers you see on the TV, some are positively human!
