A C-141 was preparing for departure from Thule Greenland, and they were waiting
for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank.
The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, but the truck was late in arriving, and
the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped
out.
When the Aircraft Commander berated the Airman for his lack of speed and promised
punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below
zero, I am stationed in Thule and I am pumping sh*t out of airplanes. Just what
are you planning to do to punish me?"
