Driver License

Driver License---
Now here is a interesting institute: The other day my wife and I went down to the local DMV. We need to get our new state license seeing I am now out of the military. Of course that is always a dreaded event and so we spent the night before running around finding all the correct informational paper work and laid out our best clothes.
That morning we awoke with butterflies in the stomach and pure dread of having to sit in a line with alot of strangers all of whom do not speak a lick of english.
So there we were, we made it past the registration and took our number. Now how exactly does that work? We were second in line and forty five minutes we finally get called up. C405... What? So we are now standing in front of a nice asian lady who by the way does not speak english very well. Again I say interesting.
She looks at my military ID and goes "this is not a valid ID.." WHAT? Excuse me I just spent four years of my life in the middle east fighting with good men and women, just to hear you say my military ID is not valid. Okay so now the blood pressure is up.
She then turns to my wife and says do you have a passport? A PASSPORT??? Uhm, this is America right? We are not leaving the country as far as I know. My wife says, No I dont have a passport. Of couse this confuses the nice lady and she spends the next five minutes trying to understand why we dont have a passport. My question was did she have a passport?
How is it that she is, who seems to have just arrived in the U.S., is currently asking me an American born citzen if I have a passport? Okay so maybe I am overacting.
So at this point I am fed up and in typically military fashion, breath a few words under my breath, leave my wife standing there and race back home to get the proper Identification. Of course the story would not be complete if I didnt tell you that after I found the proper identification, I jumped in my car and found that the battery in my car had died..........
To make the story complete, I must tell you that several days later after we found the proper Identification we return. Of course I handed them my Military Id and surprise, surprise, it turns out that it is the proper ID and that the nice little lady didnt know that....I am not bitter though..
