i used to love a few of these. and use them.

"privates are training aids for leaders."

or sending privates out for "50 yards of chow line," "humvee reverse light bulbs," "blackout light fluid," "left handed tent pole drivers" or when sending them to the platoon sergeant, to have them go ask for "a prc e7." pronounced prick, of course. never failed.

occasionally, an recalcitrant e1, e2, or e3 needed to be grabbed "by the swivel stack and have his headspace and timing adjusted."

but usually not twice.


"Walk tall, kick ass, learn to speak arabic, love music, and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, lovers, and warriors." ~Hunter S. Thompson

I'm still clinging bitterly...how about you?
