Friday's Joke
of the Day
After about three weeks in basic training, my husband's unit was not measuring up to expectations. The sergeant threatened to send them all back three weeks to start over. Apparently, at least one new soldier was already reconsidering his career choice.
As the sergeant's threat hung in the air, an anonymous voice called out, "How about sending us back FOUR weeks?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bonus Joke:
During basic army training, a sergeant was telling his group how a submachine gun sprayed bullets. He drew a circle on a blackboard and announced that it had 260 degrees.
"But, sergeant, all circles have 360 degrees," called out a conscript.
"Don't be stupid," the sergeant roared. "This is a small circle."

Extra Bonus Joke:
A career military officer relates this story about a general staff meeting he attended many years ago. A young captain was present at his very first such meeting.
The general threw out a tactical problem seeking answers. The colonel, sitting on the general's right, leaned into the problem and answered it in detail. During this process, the young captain, at the foot of the gathering, kept shaking his head.
After the colonel had finished the general looked around and asked if anyone had anything to add. Somewhat brashly the captain spoke up, "I disagree completely with the colonel, sir."
"Don't you think it might be wise to defer to the judgment of the colonel, captain?"
Right back the captain said, "That is not the way you made general, sir."
The general looked at the captain for about ten seconds and finally said, "No, you are right, captain. But that sure as hell is how I made major."
