FORT BENNING, GA—Billions of dollars of military equipment were destroyed today after several women were asked to park the tanks, even though women are really bad at parallel parking.
"Whoops, that was a mistake," said Staff Sergeant Darrel Cruthers, who gave the order. "I told Specialist Casey, Specialist Smith, and Corporal Bradley to carefully park the tanks along the curb over there, but I forgot that was a bad idea due to them all being women. Lesson learned I guess."
According to witnesses, the three women kept moving forward and back again and again while scuffing up the curb and leaning out the hatch to say "sorry" to each other very politely. After smashing several cars and destroying 18 tanks, the women finally gave up and left sticky notes on the tanks apologizing to whoever would have to use them next.
The corporal and two specialists have since been reassigned to the airfield to park helicopters.

Good satire always has elements of truth underlying it. Judging by the number of “woman driving fails” videos on YouTube, this article is not at all far fetched.

At an alumni function 10 years after graduation, I ran into him again. He tells me this story about his unit doing night maneuvers on the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
It was a moonlit night and he was driving a tank. He made a left turn instead of a right turn and drove right into the lake. Sank the tank.
I never laughed so hard in my life. I always thought he was a doofus.
And the tank floated, right? LOL?
I absolutely LOVE this one!!!

It’s early for me, I’ll get better.
Sounds like he has the *right stuff*.
Perhaps The Space Force is in his future. :)
Mrs D thought it was funny... (but she is a Conservative woman, so she thinks jokes are funny). BB is true again...
No, it sank!
Pregnant women no less.
Does something like that derail your military career?

Destroying entire jets didn’t harm McCain’s military career, IIRC.
I guess it depends on what he did, but also his father was an admiral.
No doubt. He didn’t stay in the Marines but he wouldn’t have gone anywhere if he had.
Actually, he may have been perfect for the Marines. He took a land vehicle and made it into a marine vehicle.
I can parallel park pretty well!
What I can’t do is parallel park or back up any vehicle
that is hauling a trailer behind it.
I don’t think so. I wouldn’t want to rely on this guy to protect my back. He was a doofus and still is the last time I saw him. You don’t want guys like this in the Marines.
