My partner was going to marry me no matter what their dad said, but it meant a lot to them to get his approval. I was going into the military and he was a retired high ranking lieutenant.

8 years later their dad still loves the shit out of me.

I'm not military, but isn't "high ranking lieutenant" an oxymoron? I thought lieutenants were the very beginning rank for officers.

My bad. I shouldn't type while sick.

Lieutenant colonel is what I meant.
