:) the members of the Husband Club understand

I would first look at the custom of your temple. Talk to the Recorder or other members of the UK Shrine Club.

Which obligation do you think governs this?

Actually,the traditional way would be the --two-- degrees, in the same day. See D. Stephenson, the First Freemasons.

I'm unclear why you think the sea services are materially different than the other services. If you are committed to a military career, why not consider ROTC?

I served a career active and reserve. I have never seen disrespect shown simply because someone did not serve. Now, if an individual begins declaring their opinion on military matters or criticizing the military, I may point out their lack of expertise.

I didn't view it as being the ability to answer a question, but one brother punishing another for that perceived deficiency. It smacks more of college fraternity hazing than of a brotherhood who venerates the great architect who freely gave his life rather than betray the trust reposed in him.

Delivering the Lecture to the Brethren at installation; Sovereign in Sovereign Degree, Red Cross.

Actually, I wish I could have come up with such a response that quickly. I might inquire more about what you meant by those terms and what you were expecting, but I have absolutely no problem with it.

As I understood your post (punctuation is our friend, you know :)), the individual was a Master Mason, not an entered apprentice. Apparently your area has a custom of issuing Masonic challenge questions and if deemed not answered correctly, some how there is a demand for an article of clothing...

On my professional resume I do not list fraternal groups per se. I might list boards I have sat on, such as the Shriner's Hospital Board of Governors, as that demonstrates some expertise in matters of administration and governance. I simply don't understand how simply being a member of the...

Oh, I wasn't offended. You were criticizing Texans. I'm an Okie. We view picking on Texans as a laudable past time (my oldest son is a Texan. We just try not to talk about it :)) After over 30 years at the bar and on the bench, I am fairly sure I have a grasp on the definitions of commonly...
