FTA TIBS No good plan survives first contact. Maintenance Platoon motto: "Torque these nuts!" Flight Company motto: "Shoot 'em in the face!" Ft. Campbell KY is home to the 101st Airborn Division, identified as the "Screaming Eagles". Since that moniker covers the whole division all the smaller units have a description that is in relation to the "Eagle". For example, the aviation guys were the "Wings of the Eagle." We would have to sound off with that when called to attention at Division change of Command ceremonies. All of us were thuroughly amused when the Artillery guys had to sound off with their identity. Anybody care to guess which part of the Eagle anatomy they were?  Use to be "Balls of the Eagle", is that the one?? NSDQ That was still the one when I was there. Always cracked me up when they sounded off with that! NSDQ is quite familiar to all of us in Aviation.

Speaking of "cluster f_ck", how 'bout...It was like watching a monkey f__king a football.
Some questions from an instructor pilot to his student that were/are almost guaranteed to start a "helmet fire" or cause "heads to explode":
What are you doing?
Where are you going?

The Jody cadences were always good. As a prank, I loved telling boots to find the Humvee keys. Once while singing cadence in a Regimental run I quoted the recon dude from Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge and got a SgtMaj azz chewing- "57 chevy and a tank full of gas...handful of p___y and a mouthfull as azz!" Humvee keys were a good one. I liked the "can of beep" for the horn too. Same thing with "bulkhead remover", "bulb for the smoking lamp" (on ship), "need 500ft of flight line", and of course..."left handed screwdriver".

Go to the wash rack and get a bucket of prop wash.
Go down to the AR hanger and get the skyhook.
(that worked until we looked up the NSN for the "sky hook" on rescue C-130's)

We would empty a chem light into a glass and tell a FNG to go service the slime lights on the aircraft. Bonus points if you got them dressed in PPE and had them visit each shop (to include the motor pool) to look for the slime light battery tester.
I fell for the DA Form ID-10T bit myself. The guys got me good with that one.

I made some slip of decorum in basic training, back when the TI could swear about you, your momma, and the dog all in impolite conversation. Anyway, realizing my gaff, I'm at attention when Sgt Hunt, and little Mexican guy with a Clarke Gable mustache, gets on his tippy toes and pushes that 'mokey bear hat into my face and whispers "you've got the brains of a f  ckin' plant Airman!" I lost my military bearing and started laughing, which set him off and it went downhill from there....

MARINE-acronym for My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment MARINE: Muscles Are Required, Intelligence NOT Essential.. I went thru Post Vietnam in Basic training... and many many times, you'd see a Drill Sgt shake his head.. "G.Damn ALL VOLUNTEER ARMY!!!" referring to the fact that AFTER the draft, the average intelligence of the average guy in basic training had dropped like a brick... While in a Chopper Unit in the MN/NG: ATF ( Air Traffic Control)... we said it stood for "Always TAKING Coffee" which is about ALL this guys did on a drill weekend... US Army: UNCLE SAM AIN'T RELEASED ME YET...

I remember the drill sergeant set ups most of all, and it was hell to keep from laughing in ranks (another death sentence).
That brings one of my own experiences to mind.. We had time to kill, drill sgt was handing out mail, he'd call your name and them just throw it over his shoulder.. and you ran up and picked it up off the ground.. one of ours was a skinny Rodney Dangerfield wannbe.. so he'd tell jokes, that were pretty darn funny... so he called closed ranks, and I couldn't quit laughing and chuckling from his last joke... he sees me and calls open ranks, and then walks right up to me and puts his nose about 1/4 from my chin ( he was shorter than I) and yells 'what are you so happy about trainee???' (This drill really liked me as we both had family roots in the same county in VA..plus I was college educated among a bunch of morons).. So the first thing that goes thru my mind is to say something snappy... so I come out with " Because its a FINE DAY to be in the Army Drill Sgt!!" he steps back with a big grin on his face... and yells out " so its a fine day to be in the Army?" "yes Drill Sgt!" He walks back to the front of the platoon..." SO ITS A FINE DAY TO BE IN THE ARMY TRAINEE??" " YES DRILL SGT!!" Drill: " So let me ask you this Pvt... Did you get laid today???" Me: " NO DRILL SGT!" Drill: " I hope you didn't get laid last night trainee, because that either meant you went AWHOL last night or you're a GD Queer!...." Drill.. " Did you go AWOL last night Trainee!!!" Me: "NO DRILL SGT!!" Drill: "ARE YOU A G.Damn QUEER TRAINEE!" Me: "NO DRILL SGT!" Drill: "DID YOU GET PAID TODAY TRAINEE???" Me: " NO DRILL SGT!" Drill: "WELL IF YOU DIDN'T GET LAID LAST NIGHT, AND YOU DIDN'T GET PAID TODAY, THEN IT ISN'T A 'FINE DAY' TO BE IN THE ARMY!! NOW GET UP HERE AND GIVE ME 20!!" so I run up and pound out 20... Drill: 'RECOVER AND AT EASE TRAINEE!!" me: "YES DRILL SGT!" Drill: " NOW THE REST OF YOU RAGASS M.F.'S... IS IT A FINE DAY TO BE IN THE ARMY??" Rest of the Platoon.." NO DRILL SGT"... Drill: "WHY YOU RAGASSED BUNCH OF COMMUNISTIC UNPATRIOTIC BUNCH OF M.F's!!!! GET DOWN!!!!" Drill: " Call it out for these douche bags Trainee!!!" me.. "yes Drill Sgt!!" after they are done.. Drill: " SO IS IT A FINE DAY TO BE IN THE ARMY???" Platoon: " YES DRILL SGT!!!" Drill Sgt: "DID YOU GET LAID LAST NIGHT???"
