Thanks for another good thread.
Military Language
The reason the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines bicker amongst themselves is that they don’t speak the same language. For instance, Take the simple phrase “secure the building”.
The Army will post guards around the place.
The Navy will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The Marines will kill everybody inside and set up a headquarters.
The Air Force will take out a 5 year lease with an option to buy.

Military Life Insurance
Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center, where he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance. It wasn’t long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones was having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling
insurance to nearly 100% of the recruits he advised. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones’ sales pitch.
Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said: “If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has
to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don’t have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000.
Now,” he concluded, “which group do you think they are going to send into battle first?”

Joining the Army
As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter’s
office.
There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle
this new situation. “Oh, come on, quit joking,” snickered one. “You didn’t really do that, did you?”
“You would never get through basic training,” scoffed another.
The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, “Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?”

Chow Time
One of my husband’s duties as a novice drill instructor at Fort Jackson, S.C., was to escort new recruits to the mess hall. After everyone had made it through the chow line, he sat them down and told them, “There are three rules in this mess hall: Shut up! Eat up! Get up!”
Checking to see that he had everyone’s attention, he asked, “What is the first rule?” Much to the amusement of the other instructors, 60 privates yelled in unison, “Shut up, Drill Sergeant!”

We cooled down a little bit, temp went over 100F today.
I don’t have air con, kept my blinds drawn, fan going... filled a pan with ice...lol.
Don’t know if that helped.
Hey, it’s really late over your way.
Are you asleep yet?

This signing was a great day for our nation and there was joy at my house I recall.So much of my remembered childhood was during WW2.
I owe gpapa thanks for posting this elsewhere and Billie for giving me this site so I could downsize the bytes for the Finest..I had never seen this great picture and just love that I could share it with the Finest.

LOL..I think this was one of my grandson’s mother’s responses to his wanting to join the Navy..She got a picture of him ironing his uniform after graduation ceremonies from basic ...It was “historic”.

Loved your fun posts.
