DROP AND GIMME 25!
Got a bunch of freshies into the company Monday, and somehow I was given the luxury of baby sitting them. I love screwing with them, though, it's great. They were so ingrained into calling their Sergeant "Drill Sergeant" that this one kid I asked him did he think he could handle one of my cruisers. He replied "Yes Drill Sergeant!" I got so close to his face that the brim of my patrol cap was touching the brim of his patrol cap and I asked him very calmly "Where are you, soldier?" He replied "Fort Bragg, Sir!". So I asked him very calmly "Do we have Drill Sergeants here, soldier?", to which he replied "Sir no sir!". I very calmly asked him "Do I look like a Drill Sergeant to you?", and he replied "Sir no sir!". All of a sudden I screamed "THEN WHY DID YOU CALL ME A FREAKING DRILL SERGEANT? I DON'T LOOK LIKE ONE, WE DON'T HAVE DRILL SERGEANTS HERE. WHY PRIVATE, WHY?". He said it was a slip up and I said "Platoon! Drop and gimme 25 maybe your buddy here can figure out where he's at before he opens his big mouth again!".
This behavior of calling their Sergeant "Drill Sergeant" has been ingrained into their heads for half a year, so when they get to the company level, it has a tendency to make itself known again. Which is why when they get to the company level, we know for the most part that there will always be one fuck up and we can torture them a little. After all, if your Sergeant doesn't torture you a little, he don't care about you!
Had a guy drunkenly "steal" an Apache helicopter...which had no fuel, no spark plugs in the engine, and was missing various other parts to make it go. But I guess he was flying in his brain???
Learn ya titles people! Learn ya titles and fall out!
