cmon, how stupid can you get. btw they are no longer in iraq.

The things some people will do to get out of $h!t.

and the dumbest MAF's as well. "Transponder non functional in O. F. F. function. I. F. F. works fine when transponder is in O. N. position." ya know, i've always wondered how those tards get out of school and can still mess up simple stuff like that. college education to break em, high school diploma to fix em.

Seen the same shtuff with Army Apache pilots.

And finally remember the five most dangerous sayings in the Army

1. A Private saying, "It has been my experience.."

2. A Sergeant saying, "Trust me, sir..."

3. A Second Lieutenant saying, "I know exactly where we are..."

4. A Captain saying, "I was just thinking..."

5. A Warrant Officer chuckling, "Watch this $h!t..."

i had to take my dogtags off in order to sleep, otherwise they choked me, cuz i'd roll over on top of them in the middle of the night.

trick.....you'll get 2 blankets eventually....one is sposed to cover your pillow, the other is sposed to cover the sheets on the bed....to save time, sleep under the one that gets used for the pillow, thats what we did. that way all you gotta do when u get up in the morning is tighten the rest of the bed and refold one blanket.

Maybe if you go to EASY BASIC you can get away with that. Common sense told us that if we knew, the Drill SGTs knew...so a lot of us just got good at making them quickly. The most that happened to my battle buddy and I was having our shoes shot across the bay floor for my BB having a dust bunny hiding between his dress shoes. Woe unto the troop who left his wall locker unlocked... OUCH.

I learned that lesson by seeing the misery of the soldier who had to clean it up! Sad part is, that happened to him about weekly.

Happened to a good friend of mine... Andy left it unlocked and worse, left his dogtags hanging from the padlock. He shot a panicked look at me when we were standing in formation and the Sr. Drill told us to make ready our tags and ID cards. I was like, 'WTF' to him and he said, 'Oh S***!' They released us afterwards and we figured out that they had quickly gone through the bays before issuing the 'check' and found his wall locker unlocked. The poor guy, rock solid as he was, actually welled up and was about to cry. They completely destroyed the inside of the locker and threw his stuff all over. We even found one of his socks in a toilet. Damn... But he never left his locker unlocked after that!!!

I seen it happen to the best of tards.. and to good soldiers too. But the winner had been dippin, and kept his spitoon in the back of the locker. Actually a couple spitoons. The Drills would trash his locker, find the spitoons, and even dumped them on the pile of clothing. Like I said.. this guy was a winner. He would spend all night washing uniforms and cleaning up, just to leave it open again a couple days later with another damn spitoon. This guy must have had a learning disability or something.

we had a chick leave hers open once at AIT....they found candy, naughty letters, incriminating photos, etc. . .. .NEVER let anyone take pics of you doing ANYTHING at AIT....they found out who was smokin, drinkin, gettin laid, etc. .all from one chicks wall locker.

Never mess with a Ranger...

A battalion of marines was on a beach doing a PT workout when the CO of the battalion looked up and saw a lone army Ranger standing at attention at the top of a hill.
The CO was curious so he sent a marine up to see what was going on.
As the marine approached the Ranger sprinted into the woods, and the marine followed.
Yelling and screaming could be heard coming from the woods, seconds later the Ranger stepped out and stood back at attention.
The CO was still curious so he sent a squad up to investigate.
The Ranger ran into the woods and after some yelling and screaming, came back out and stood at attention again.
Now the CO was angry so he sent an entire Platoon up to the top of the hill.
The Ranger ran into the woods.
He emerged moments later after some more yelling and screaming with no sign of the marines anywhere.
The CO had had enough, he sent the entire battalion of marines charging up the hill.
The ranger ran into the woods. More yelling and screaming.

Finally a terribly wounded marine crawled out of the woods and reported back to the CO.
The CO inquired "Do you mean to tell me that one army ranger destroyed an entire battalion of marines"
The marine replied "no sir, it was a trick, there were two of them"

haha.

Here's a funny one

Officer: "Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "Sure, buddy."
Officer: "That's no way to address an officer!
Now let's try it again!"
Officer: "Soldier. Do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "No, SIR!"

That thar is a different animal altogether.

This is why.

R-ecognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.


A-cknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move farther, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.


N-ever shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One-hundred-percent and then some.


G-allantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.


E-nergetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.


R-eadily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.


RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
