- Toy guns during a heightened state of alert/national crisis tend to overexcite security personnel. Particularly when
they are in the process of breaching your room. - “.50 caliber machineguns, M1A1 Abrams tanks, destroyers, Chinese hookers, and small guys named Bob to take care of our vehicles” cannot be purchased on the OPTAR. One must route a special request chit first.
- All special request chits require a written clarification as to why the item is desired.
- In order to ensure smooth transition of a special request chit, it is best to advice your chain of command verbally
before you attempt to order a $47,000 tank. - Especially when you are a naval unit.
- If you are going to take your military vehicle into the local herd of livestock, it is critical to do as much damage
as is conceivable. Remember, less than 6 is your fault. More than 6 is the herders fault, and if there was a fence
in the way it doesn’t mean jack shit to a military tribunal. Screaming “Kill them all and let God sort them out” while executing 28 is acceptable. Most herders don’t speak English anyway. - Whenever the phrase “Is this crap flammable?” is heard, RUN. 9 for 10, the source of that phrase already has their zippo burning and is finding out.
- Advising the gate guard that you left your thermonuclear warhead in your other backpack is never a good idea.
- Apparently, dereliction of duty cannot only be interpreted by the one who’s derelicting their duty. Seems EVERYONE has an opinion they need to share when this happens. I mean, if you don’t KNOW what your duty is, how can you be derelict in it?
- BAH/OHA can only be authorized for places of RESIDENCE. The address of the local bar is not valid for OHA/BAH purposes. Even if the owner will cut you a lease.
- The greatest weapon we can inflict on the enemy is NOT dropping a schoolbus full of retarded children on them.
- Combining blanks and cleaning rods in the M16A2 rifle is not an acceptable means of acquiring “meat for the tribe.” It
should be noted it’s a bitch unpinning a squirrel from a tree and you NEVER get your cleaning rod back. - Scorpions should never be sources of gambling, regardless of how cool it is when you trap two in an M-60 ammo can and let them fight it out to the death UFC style.
- Specifically related to the above, betting on anything but the little clear guy makes you by default either a LOSER or a MARINE.
- Specifically
related to the above, once you realize that the little clear guy is obviously the most deadly of the scorpions indigenous to the Middle East, carrying a “winner” around on your shoulder as a parrot is not a bright idea. - It is advisable to LEARN to drive a vehicle, before claiming to be able to do so. Particularly in the case of anything
that can achieve flight. - Gonasyphaherpaloids is not a real disease.
