LOL...some describe the 4th ID patch as "an aerial photo of four lieutenants with a compass all facing north."

(I did my 2LT time with 1st ID).

OK, now I'm laughing my head off here.

I'm emailing this to my husband! Hopefully his sense of humor is operational this afternoon.

(ON second thought, maybe I better not. I'm going to look at a Yellow Lab puppy that's the daughter of a good friend's dog.)

Thank you for your service. 2nd Lieutenants get short shrift, but they eventually grow up to be great generals.

Good one. You reminded me of a joke from way back when:

A new platoon leader was out on a night patrol exercise at Fort Lewis. When he realized that he was lost, he got frustrated, keyed the microphone on his field radio and exclaimed:

I'M EFFING LOST!!!

The Division Commander heard the comment and replied, "whoever made that last comment, identify yourself!"

The platoon leader, having had a moment to compose himself, replied:

I may be effing lost, but I'm not effing stupid!
