We need a volunteer.

 

[Kanewpadle]

At work, I'll ask an Army senior NCO for help and this is what I get.

"I'm tracking that"
"We'll get you squared away"

And I never hear from them again.

 

[WardenRoss]

Ask a 2nd LT anything...

The reply is always "I'll double check..."

Way back when I was in the Army I got some very good advice early on from a Seargent that I never forgot, "keep your mouth shut and your hand out of the air"

 

[Fishinfool]

..."To the last man"...

Way back when I was in the Army I got some very good advice early on from a Seargent that I never forgot, "keep your mouth shut and your hand out of the air"

I knew I was succeeding in basic when, six weeks in, one of my drill sergeants couldn't remember my name.

Most useful advise I ever received in the Army came one day when I , along with probably everyone else, realized that the "plan" we had been given had absolutely no relevance to the situating we were actually facing. As a naïve Private I asked, "What do we do now Sargent?" The Sargent simply said "We do what soldiers always do Private, we adapt or die."

My kids will tell you that Adapt or Die is one of our family mottos. The other is Where there is a whip, there is a way.

"Fix bayonets!" is something I'll bet no one wanted to hear.

Ask a 2nd LT anything...

When I was a 2nd LT my go to response was 'I don't know Sir but I will find out" and when I was talking to an enlisted man it was "Ask your sergeant"

Hold until relieved.

 

[fiasconva]

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

I Told my kids: "Complainers die in the wilderness!" If my kids complained, it was to someone else.

I knew I was succeeding in basic when, six weeks in, one of my drill sergeants couldn't remember my name.

My oldest was in Basic Training at Ft. Benning in the Summer of 1998. My F-I-L is a Retired CSM and called the Head Drill Instructor of my son's training company to ask if he was going to graduate. When told my son's name, the first thing out of the DI's mouth was, "Never heard of him! That's a really good thing!" Then he ask an assistant and got a resounding "Yes!" Made me feel good and that I did at least one thing right raising him!

When I was in basic the DI, at roll call one morning, asked if anyone had
any college. 2 or 3 raised their hands. Then he said report to the motor
pool to ride the garbage truck today.

"Where's the pin.....WHERE'S THE PIN?"

Air Force: Isn't that the Army's job?

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

1. "We're working on it."
2. "Never heard of it."
3. "We're waiting on spare parts."
4. "The men had a class on it."
