I received this from a USMC Col., retired, friend and thought it quite funny. I did a search and nothing came up. Enjoy the words 'o wisdom and exasperation.

I can identify with nearly every one of them! My finest times were as Firing Battery XO and Cannon Battery BC. Everything else was "institutional scab picking"!

"Things are looking up for us here. In fact, Papua-New Guinea is thinking of offering two platoons: one of Infantry (headhunters) and one of engineers (hut builders). They want to eat any Iraqis they kill. We've got no issues with that, but State is being anal about it." LTC (JS) on OIF coalition-building.LOL! That LTC must've been in the Infantry at some point.

Do any of you FReepers remember the specific places you send the four different types of officers - Smart and Active, Smart and Passive, Stupid and Active, Stupid and Passive, attributed to the German General Staff circa WWI?

If we wait until the last minute to do it, it'll only take a minute. I gurantee that is NOT limited to the military -- LOL!

I had the pleasure of working with an exchange NCO from the New Guinea Defense Force back in the early 80s. He was from a small hill village and sported the facial tattoos denoting his history and affiliations. In the evenings we would often talk about head hunting, cannibalism and feud warfare. There was little or no police presence in his home area, so the death feuds were still not uncommon. The look he would give to anyone who dared refer to him as “African-American” made me believe he would not be against taking the head and eating the liver.
