There was this General-in-training, and his superioirs were asking him questions “What happened on June 6, 1944?” “We stormed the beach at Normandy, which later became known as D-Day, sir!” “What was the turining point of wordl war 2?” “Battle of the bulge, sir!” “What’s is the importance of May 12” The Man thought and thought “I don’t know, sir!” The superior then said “Well, I’ll tell your wife that you forgot her birhtday”

During an army basic training, the lieutenant took the batch on a match and asked each of them where home was. After everyone had answered, he sneered and said “you are all wrong, the army is now your home”. Back at the barracks, he read the evening duties, then asked the first sergeant if he had anything to say “you bet I do” the sergeant replied, “men, while you were gone today, I found beds improperly made, clothes not hanging correctly, shoes not shined and footlockers a mess. Where do you think you are? Home?’

A retired sergeant was asked: “Well, how do you like civilian life?” “Terrible,” he said gruffly, “all those people around and nobody in charge!”

General Heath, a famous lover of parade music and marching drill ceremonies, once listened to a symphonic orchestra playing. When asked about his impressions, he commented: “No military precision in drill…” “Why?” “Did you see those violin players? They were moving their bows not in cadence.”

Coach Bobby Ross had put together the perfect Lions team. The only thing he was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, and even the high schools, but he couldn’t find a ringer quarterback who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night, while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in Bosnia. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Bosnian soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand grenade straight into a 15th-story window 200 yards away — ka- boom! He threw another hand grenade into a group of 10 soldiers 100 yards away — ka-blooey! Then a car passed, going 90 mph — bulls-eye! “I’ve got to get this guy!” Ross said to himself. “He has the perfect arm!” So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football, and the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl for the first time in history. The young Bosnian is lioni zed as the Great Hero of football, and when Ross asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is to call his mother. “Mom,” he says into the phone, “I just won the Super Bowl.” “I don’t want to talk to you,” the old woman says. “You deserted us. You are not my son.” “I don’t think you understand, Mother!” the young man pleads. “I just won the greatest sporting event in the world. I’m here among thousands of my adoring fans.” “No, let me tell you,” the mother retorts. “At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and this week your sister was raped in broad daylight.” The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says “…I’ll never forgive you for making us move to Detroit.”

While practicing autorotations during a military night training exercise a Huey Cobra screwed up the landing and landed on the tail rotor. The landing was so hard that it broke off the tail boom. However, the chopper fortunately remained upright on its skids, sliding down the runway doing 360s. As the Cobra slid past the tower, trailing a brilliant shower of sparks, this was the radio exchange that took place… Tower: “Sir, do you need any assistance?” Cobra: “I don’t know Tower, we ain’t done crashin’ yet.”

Following some duty overseas, the officers at the Fort were planning a welcome home party and dance for the unit. Being an all male combat force, they decided to request coeds from some of the surrounding colleges to attend. The Captain called Vassar and was assured by the Dean that arrangements could be made to send over a dozen of their most trustworthy students. The Captain hesitated, then said, “Would it also be possible to send a dozen or so of the other kind?”

During camouflage training in Louisiana, a private disguised as a tree trunk had made a sudden move that was spotted by a visiting general. “You simpleton!” the officer barked. “Don’t you know that by jumping and yelling the way you did, you could have endangered the lives of the entire company?” “Yes sir,” the solder answered apologetically. “But, if I may say so, I did stand still when a flock of pigeons used me for target practice. And I never moved a muscle when a large dog peed on my lower branches. But When two squirrels ran up my pants leg and I heard the bigger say, “Let’s eat one now and save the other until winter’ — that did it.”

Recruits were shocked at the language the sergeant used in their unit. During a smoke break one young soldier asked: “Sergeant, where did you le-arn your language?” “Learnit, hell, it’s a gift,” proudly informed the NCO.

Two paratrooper recruits in a plane: – Are you crazy, Vasily? You are going to jump without a parachute. – Is it mandatory to wear it? – Sure. It’s raining outside.
