During training exercises, the lieutenant who
was
driving down a muddy back road encountered another car stuck in
the mud
with a red-faced colonel at the wheel. "Your jeep stuck,
sir?" asked
the lieutenant as he pulled alongside "Nope," replied the
colonel,
coming over and handing him the keys "Yours is."

An Army Ranger was on holiday in the depths
of
Louisiana, where he tried to buy some Alligator shoes. However,
he was
not prepared to pay the high prices. After failing to haggle
the vendor
down to a reasonable price level, he ended up shouting
"I don't give
two hoots for your shoes, man, I'll go and kill my
own!"
The shopkeeper replied, "By all means. Just watch out for the
two
Marines who are doing the same.
"So the Ranger went out into
the Bayou, and after a while saw two men
with spears, standing
still in the water. "They must be the two
Marines," he thought. Just at
that point he noticed an alligator moving in
the water towards one
of them. The Marine stood completely passive, even
as the gator
came ever closer. Just as the beast was about to swallow
him, the
Marine struck home with his spear and wrestled the gator up
onto the
beach, where several already lay. Together the two Marines threw
nthe gator onto its back, whereupon one exclaimed "Damn! This one
doesn't have any shoes either!"

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
offhand, "just our medals."

This Marine drill instructor, completely
frazzled by the ineptitude of his recruits, burst into a blue streak of
swearing hot enough to blister paint. He broke off suddenly when he
noticed one of the recruits had been talking in ranks.
"WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID, RECRUIT??" the drill sergeant hollered.
In
a quivering voice, the recruit replied, "I said, to myself, Drill
Sergeant Sir, 'if that sucker thinks I'm going to stand here and take
his crap . . . well, he's certainly an uncanny judge of
character.

We have women
in the military, but they
don't put us in the front lines. They don't
know if we can fight,
if we can kill. I think we can. All the general
has to do is walk
over to the women and say, 'You see the enemy over
there? They say
you look fat in those uniforms.'
