Bliss. well one time, i had to go to the ER to get stiches in my head. on the way out of the hospital, the BOOM was heard and EVERYONE stood still. this includes nurses and doctors that may have been very busy inside the hospital. everyone stood still and stood at attention. it was the first time i heard the BOOM, since we lived off base on the other side of town. that was the first time that i heard my dad tell me to shut up and stand still. my dad was in the army for 20 years. whenever i would get sick, he would take me to the hospital on base in Ft.
