As the sun rose over Parris Island, the senior drill instructor realized that one of his recruits had gone AWOL. A search party was dispatched immediately. After a few hours the recruit was discovered hiding in some bushes. He was sent back to the base and promptly escorted to the drill instructor's office. The instructor asked the young recruit, "Why did you go AWOL?"

The recruit replied, "My first day here you issued me a comb, and then proceeded to cut my hair off. The second day you issued me a toothbrush, and sent me to the dentist, who proceeded to pull all my teeth. The third day you issued me a jock strap, and I wasn't about to stick around and find out what would follow that SIR."

The National Science Foundation announced the following study results on U.S. military recreation preferences:
1. Sport of choice for Marines: bowling.
2. Sport of choice for Sailors: football.
3. Sport of choice for Soldiers: baseball.
4. Sport of choice for Coast Guardsmen: tennis.
5. Sport of choice for Airmen: golf.
Notice how the farther down the list you go, the smaller their balls get.

The grizzled gunnery sergeant, clad in his dress bravos, walked into the bar at the Plaza Hotel, ordered a beer, and noticing a piano in the bar, asked the bartneder if it was alright if he played a couple tunes.

Sure said the bartender.

The Gunny sat down and proceeded to play, and play beautifully. Original pieces too.

After several songs he returned to the bar and ordered another beer. The bartender said 'You play wonderfully, but I didn't recognize any of the music. What was the name of that last one?'

The gunny replied 'Oh that last one? It's one I wrote called I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I COULD JUST F***ING SH*T.'
