A young, freshly minted lieutenant was sent to Bosnia as part of the peace keeping mission. During a briefing on land mines, the captain asked for questions. Our intrepid solder raised his hand and asked, “If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what do we do?” “Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump 200 feet in the air and scatter oneself over a wide area.”

At the morning roll call at Fort Dix, the sergeant called out,”Platoon, atten-HUT! Private Martinez, report to the office. Your brother died last night.”The Chaplain, Rabbi Horowitz, looked on in horror. “Sergeant,” he saidafterwards, “that’s a rather cruel and unfeeling way to break tragic news. We must be more gentle and less abrupt in the future,”The sergeant shrugged. “Yes sir. I’ll try to remember that.” He didn’tlook very convinced.Several days later, a call came in about another family death. As the troops were assembling for roll call, the Chaplain stepped forward.”Let me take this one, sergeant”, he said. He turned toward the sleepy-looking soldiers and said, “Platoon, atten-HUT !” They came to attention. “Good morning, men!” he said. “Good morning, sir”, they replied. “Men, today is Mother’s Day, and I hope all of you will be calling home to send your moms a loving thought. In fact, all of youwho are fortunate enough to still have a mother who’s alive and well, take two steps forward. Private Jones; not so fast!”

Two men were boasting to each other about their old army days. “Why, my outfit was so well drilled,” declared one, “that when they presented arms all you could hear was slap, slap, click.”"Very good,” conceded the other, “but when my company presented arms you’d just hear slap, slap, jingle.”"What was the jingle?” asked the first. “Oh,” replied the other off hand, “just our medals.”

The following areactual excerpts taken from people’s “206’s”….- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.- I would not breed from this Officer.- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won’t-be.- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.- Technically sound, but socially impossible.- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.- This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.- The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.- Only occasionally wets himself under pressure
