Military proverbs...

["Robert J. Hansen" <rjhansen@xxxxxxxx>]

Just was reading a list of lessons from an Army Spec-4, and while many
of them are meant exclusively to be funny and fail, some others have the
ring of truth to them... the ones which seemed to be most appropriate to
the list:

* 2nd Lt's bars means he outranks me, not that I have been promoted more
times than him.

* Crucifixes do not ward off officers, and I must not test that for
myself.

* When saluting a leg officer, `Airborne Leads the Way' is not an
appropriate greeting.

* Army dress uniform consists of clothing impossible to fight in. Marine
dress uniform consists of boots; helmet; LBE; M-16A2; 300 rounds 5.56mm
and perfect range card.

* Must not smoke in front of officers who are Jonesing for cigarettes.

* God is not allowed to countermand my orders.

* Must not antagonize the SAS.

* Must not call SAS `wankers'.
