MAKING LIGHT
(Economical Way)
Two GIs huddled in a foxhole. One, a tough-back woodsman from Texas, calmly

his head back and raised upward until the cigarette barely cleared the top of
the foxhole....

A Day in the Life of a Marine
A prayer for the stressed.....
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to
change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those
people I had to kill today because they pissed me off. And also, help me to
be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the ass
that I may have to kiss tomorrow. Help me to always give 100% at work.... 12%
on Monday, 23% on Tuesday, 40% on Wednesday, 20% on Thursday, 5% on Fridays
and help me to remember... When I'm having a really bad day, and it seems that
people are trying to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown and only
4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to "Fuck off".

PsyOps
PsyOps have been extremely successful in the past. During the Gulf War, warnings
about B-52 bomber attacks were issued to Iraqi troops on the ground. Leaflets
promising humane treatment if they surrendered were then dropped. Most of the
soldiers who later surrendered were carrying the leaflets, army officials said
at the time. ...

The TEN Ways to Avoid the DRAFT
1. Self-Exile (The Canadian Maneuver)
A popular choice during Vietnam. A classic. This is a good opportunity to "see
the world." Actually, it's like being drafted in that you get to learn
new customs in a different culture, (saying "eh" to indicate that
you are speaking, beer drinking as an artform, finding out what a "took"
(rhymes with "Luke") is and why you wear it on you head). Plus, there
is always the comforting knowledge aht there will always be a room (10x10x8)
waiting for you back in the States....

Cruise control
While enroute back home to Fort Bragg one summer day, I stopped at Fort Campbell
for gas. I noticed a Chinook being towed into the hangar. The front of the aircraft
was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra
in the movie 'Twister'. I asked a maintenance type standing nearby what had
happened. He told me that the lieutenant had set the 'cruise control' and then
went in the back to make a sandwich....

A corporal took a company for an excursion to the zoo.
The corporal:
"And this is an enclosure with giraffes. But now they are not visible,
as they are hatching out eggs in their nests."
A soldier:
"Sir, but giraffes don't hatch out eggs!"
The corporal:
"What?! 8-((( 40 curtseys!!!"

The corporal:
"So what have you asked?"

"And when do they fly to the south ?" ...
Mechanic
During World War II, a mechanic was making a routine test flight with a bomber
that accidently drifted off course and over enemy territory. The plane was shot
down and the mechanic taken prisoner.
Not knowing his area of expertise, the prison camp leader placed him in charge
of the chickens. Every day he would collect scraps of metal and wood and, eventually,
he constructed a certified engine and a pair of wings.
One morning when the officers called roll they found he had attached the wings
and engine to the chicken shed and flown the coop

PHOTO-FINISH
A soldier stationed overseas one day received a 'Dear John' letter from his
girl-friend home in the States, telling him she was going to marry and would
he please return her picture. The boy collected photos, snapshots, and pin-up
pies from every soldier on the post. Then he packed the collection in a huge
crate and shipped it to the fickle wench....

Stamps
After seeing to it that Italys trains ran on time, Mussolini was feeling
proud enough to order the government printing office to issue a stamp featuring
his likeness. Much to his dismay, however, postal workers began complaining
that the stamps were falling off the envelopes. Every day, layers of the stamps
filled the bottoms of their carrier bags.
Mussolini rushed to the printer and demanded to know why the highest grade of
glue hadnt been used on his stamps. But it was, il Duce! the
horrified manager insisted. Weve looked into this unfortunate situation,
and the problem is that people are spitting on the wrong side! ...

Two knights are riding through a forest in medieval England when they come

Who sh*t on my carpet?
One of my Officers used to take his dog to work with him everyday.
He was called David, the dog, not the Major.
It was a scrawny look mutt.
So was the Major.
Having a sense of humour, the Major promoted David to the dizzy heights of Corporal,
probably to stop us lot from kicking it.
One day the Major came back to his office to find that Corporal David had left
him "a little message" on his office floor. So he bust him to Lance
Corporal!...
BRT
I was in the USMC in the early 70's, in LeJuene, in Motor. One Lance Corporal
reported that he was working on his truck, doing endless 1st echelon maintenance,
when a First Luie came over and asked what he was doing. He didn't really know,
so he just muttered, "Aw, shit," and peered out from under the truck.
Seeing the butter bars, he of course jumped to attention and saluted. "I'm
tightening down the BRT, Sir."...
