Warehouses or whorehouses
In the midst of a blazing battle, an officer shouted orders to a nearby soldier.
With considerable bravery, the GI ran directly on the field of battle, in the
line of fire, to retrieve a dispatch case from a dead soldier and dove back
to safety.
"Private," the officer said, "I'm recommending you for a medal.
You risked your life to save the locations of our secret warehouses."
"Warehouses?!" the private shouted. "I thought you said whorehouses!!"...

Military Genie
A platoon leader, a company commander, and a battalion commander are walking
through a city park and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie
comes out in a puff of smoke.
The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of
you just one."
"Me first! Me first!" says the platoon leader. "I want to be
in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman who sunbathes topless."
Poof! He's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the company commander. "I want to be
in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side
and a Mai Tai on the other."
Poof! He's gone.
"You're next," the Genie says to the battalion commander,
"You can have anything you want."
The battalion commander says, "I want those guys back in the motorpool
after lunch." ...
MISSED AGAIN
General Baldwin had barely arrived in the forward area when a sniper's bullet
removed a button from his shirt.
He threw himself to the ground in terror. The men stood around with the greatest
unconcern. The general yelled at a passing sergeant.
"Hey, isn't somebody going to kill that damned sniper?"
The sergeant looked down at the general and replied:
"I guess not, general. We're scared that if we kill him the enemy will
replace him with somebody who really knows how to shoot."...

US Army sex scandal
The US Army is currently in the midst of a sexual harassment scandal. It started
at a small base in Aberdeen, Maryland. These are some things you might either
see in the news, or hear about:
As a result of an internal investigation, one of the Duty Officer's stunning,
blonde staffers was transferred from Aberdeen Maryland to an obscure base in
Utah. The woman reported to her new Commanding Officer and handed him her orders.
He glanced at them and said, "Well Private, your duties here will be pretty
much the same as your last assignment." The girl sighed and said, "Yes
Sir. I kind-of figured that. Will be be OK if I drape my uniform over this chair?"

The young Marine looked flustered and then replied, "every year sir."

Chopper crash
While practicing autorotations during a military night training exercise a

Cobra: "I don't know Tower, we ain't done crashin' yet."...

The General's Visit
The Commanding General is supposed to visit the unit, so, in order to appear
snappy, the captain stations a private as a sentry outside the front door. "Inform
me immediately upon the General's arrival," the captain orders the Private.
"Yes sir!," the Private Responds.
An hour goes by, and the General hasn't arrived. Worried, the captain checks
with the Sentry.
"Did the General arrive?"
"No Sir!"
Another 1/2 hour goes by and the captain, getting nervous, checks with the sentry
again?
"Hasn't the General arrived yet?"
"No Sir!"
This continues for two hours. Finally, the General arrives.
"Where the hell have you been?," snapped the private. The captain's
looking for you!...
