OFF LAND SUPPLY
US Rangers ("Green Berets") are intensively trained to live in
any place without any food delivery.
In a southern state a farmer heard a commotion in his poultry-house one night.
This was just what he had been waiting for. With shot gun in hand he flung open
the door of the hen-coop and cried, "Come outta there you thief!"
There was silence for a few seconds, except for the startled clucking of the
fowl. Ranger Private Rastus had a short time to think quickly in the dramatic
situation in which the honor of the elite force of the US Army was at stake.
Then the furious farmer heard a weak voice said:
"Please, mister, ain't nobody here 'cept us chickens." ...
NOT TO WRITE
A general was giving some evidence at some committee at the Congress.
"What is your full name, general?" asked the chairman of the committee. "Cadwallader
Ingraham J. Hammersaw, sir."
"Can you sign your name?"
"How's that?"
"I asked if you could write your name?"
"Sir," huffed the general. "I never write my name. I dictate it." ...
HIGH SEA
A diner in a restaurant told angrily the waiter:
"What's this muddy liquid you've brought me?"
"It's soup, sir," claimed the waiter.
"You don't say so? Now, me being an old sea wolf, I can learn that I had been
plowing soup waves for thirty years." ...
ANOTHER VARIANT

Gulf War Aftermath
A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several
years before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked
about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and observed
that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. She approached one
of the women for an explanation. "This is marvelous," said the journalist.
"What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?" Replied
the Kuwaiti woman: "Land mines"...
A bunch of sailors are rowing their boat to the dock for shore
leave, and they're singing their NAVY song merrily. God looks down and says
"these guys shouldn't be this happy,so I think i'll suck out half of their
brains and see if it will calm them down so he sucks out half of their brain
Hmmm HHmmm hmmmm, the sailors are rowing along humming their song because they
no longer know the words God looks dowm and says "they're still too happy
I think i'll suck out the rest of their brains to calm them down" so now

Getting Out
Sergeant asked the corporal, "Well, I guess you're one of
the guys that will be happy to see me go? And I guess you'll be one of the guys
who come will come by and piss on my grave when I'm gone." The corporal
said, "Not me Sarge! When I get out of this man's Army, I'll never stand
in line again!" ...
The Secretary
General Smith got himself a new secretary. She was young, sweet
and very polite. One day while taking dictation, she noticed his fly open. When
leaving the room she said, "General Smith, your barracks door is open."
He did not understand her remark, but later on he happened to look down and
saw that his zipper was open. He decided to have some fun with his secretary.
Calling her in he asked, "By the way, Miss Jones, when you saw my barracks
door open this morning, did you notice a soldier standing at attention?"
The secretary, who was quite witty replied, "Why no, sir, all I saw was
a little disabled veteran sitting on two duffel bags....

Which Branch?
A soldier, a sailor, and a marine, got into a fight about which
service is best.
The fight was so heated, that they killed each other. Soon, they found themselves
in Heaven.
They see St. Peter walk by and ask him: "Which Branch of Service is the
best?"
St. Peter replied: "I can't answer that. But, I will ask God what he thinks
the next time I see him."
Some time later the three see St. Peter again and ask him if he was able to
find the answer.
Suddenly, a dove landed on St. Peter's shoulder. The dove was carrying a note
in its beak.
St. Peter opened the note and read it out loud to the three fellows:
"Gentlemen: All the Branches of the Service are 'Honorable and Noble'.
Each one of you has served your country well. Be proud of that." signed,
GOD,

Dear John Letter
The soldier serving overseas, was annoyed and upset when his
girl wrote breaking off their engagement and asking for her photograph back.
He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women
that he could find, bundled them all together and sent them back with a note
saying:
"Regret cannot remember which one is you -- please keep your photo and
return the others." ...
Reduction in Forces...
Strategic Fence Initiative
On Sept. 28, a production B-1 Bomber crashed. The cause: a flock of birds.
The obvious question is, why not devote some of the billions of dollars being
spent on national defense to build bird farms?
The Army could fence up thousands of birds in selected locations, and release
them if enemy planes were detected.
This would be called the "Strategic Fence Initiative"....
Two private soldiers are on latrine detail, sweeping up soiled
bits of toilet paper around the latrines. Just as they get all
the bits swept up into a pile for collection, a gust of wind
grabs one piece and sends it swirling into the camp, high above
the heads of both soldiers. To their horror, it goes right in the
window of the Colonel's office.
One soldier says to the other," I'll go in and get it, the
old man is short sighted, half-deaf and naps alot. I should be
fine."
So off he goes, slipping quietly into the Colonel's office. He
comes back a minute later, shaking his head.
"Well, did you get it?" says the first soldier.
"No" the second sighs," I was too late. The old man had already
signed it..."...
The Dept of the Navy just announced that the Marine Corps could no longer perform
burials at sea for those who have departed this earthly life. It seems that
too many of them have drowned trying to dig a grave...

WORK FROM SUN-UP TILL SUN-DOWN
The sergeant in charge of a fatigue party peeked over the rim of the ditch
and saw Private Larkin stretched out on his back.
"Anything wrong, private?" he shouted.
"Nah!" said the private. "I'm just waiting for the sun to go
down so I can quit this hard work." ...
BET
Two sergeants had a bet who gives the smallest sum as donation to the religious

us." ...

An MP detained an Army driver for some traffic violation.
"What's your name?" he asked.
" 'Tis there on the identification card," said the driver.
The MP tried hard to read a difficult name: "Sure, and it's obliterated."
"Ye're wrong entirely, sergeant. 'Tis O'Brannigan," corrected the
driver. ...
JUMPING WITH PARACHUTES
The tough, rough soldier from a backwoods country had just been assigned to
the paratroops at his own request. His sergeant warned him: "It's a tough
duty and you've got to do a lot of dange-rous jumping!"
"I know that, sergeant. What height are we all supposed to jump from?"
"Five hundred feet," the sergeant replied.
"Nothing doing, sergeant," the soldier said. "It's too high.
Can't you all make it three hundred feet?"
The sergeant explained that in jumping from such a low altitude there was danger
of the parachute not opening in time. The man broke into a happy smile.
"Hot dog!" he said. "Do we get parachutes, too?"...
