The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

At Parris Island, a sergeant was teaching a
private to
throw a grenade at a pracitice training course. He ran
about 10 yards away
to be safe, and yelled the instructions.
"Pull
the pin, throw and hit the dirt!"
The private proceeds to do so, and
throws the explosive directly at the
sergeant!
A few months
later, the sergeant meets the private in a group of men
killed in
battle. He goes up the the private- no hard feelings because
heaven is
well, great- and asks him how he 'bit the dust.'
Responds the
private: "Well, i was caught in a ambush; these guys,"
He thumbs behind
him. "got caught in the jeep under the fire. I managed
to make it
to a ditch where i yanked a grenade form my belt and pulled
the pin
and lever. The enemy runs away seeing it, so i put the grenade
back
onto my belt."

A Maintenance
Battalion in Germany had
just received a brand new Executive Officer, an
Armor Major. The
Major proceeded to issue new SOP directives (Standard
Operating
Procedures) that WOULD be followed under all circumstances. One
of these
directives was that NO ONE over the rank of Staff Sergeant
would
drive their own vehicle, that was what the lower enlisted were for.
One morning, the Master Sergeant in charge of the S-2 shop of the
battalion had an intel report that was due at Division Headquarters within
the hour, and his clerk, a PFC, was off that morning because of
duty the
night before. The Sergeant felt that he had no choice, the
report HAD
to get to Division; so he got into his Jeep and started to
Division
Headquarters.
As he got to the gate, the XO stopped
him. In a very sarcastic voice he
said, "Aren't we paying our
drivers a lot these days?"
The NCO, without missing a beat re
plied, "Not at all, Sir, when you
consider what we are paying gate
guards."

A
soldier keeps a mug upside down and
tells the sergeant:
- I can't drink from this mug. It has no
opening.
The sergeant examines the mug and says:
- You are
right. And besides this, it has no bottom.

The story goes that Air Force One was
over the UK a few years ago and called up a USAF base "Requesting
Radar".
"What is you position?" asked ATC
"You got radar
you find us" Air Force One replied.
After a few minutes ATC
announced "Air Force One we're changing
frequency"
"What
frequency are you changing to?" asked Air Force One
"You've got 720
channels - you find us!" ATC replied.
