A pilot stationed on the west coast was doing night training in the desert. He had been gone a week. The day he was supposed to return his spouse received a knock on the door at 7am on a week day. She was getting their two girls ready for school. When she opened the door, she saw three military members in their dress uniforms. She knew what this meant and slammed the door in their faces initially and broke down screaming.
