I ran into a problem with the Navy when it came time to name my life
insurance beneficiary.=20

My father and I had the same first name and the same middle initial
but different middle names. The Navy had no provision for handling
that situation. They insisted that I just *had* to be a 'Junior',
which I wasn't.=20

I ended up having to name my mother as the beneficiary.
