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

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!

LOL...very similar to the one about the newly minted LT that gets inebriated at the military ball, before hitting on the CG's wife and throwing up on her dress. Stunned, she looks at him and says, "Do you know who I am, lieutenant?"

"No ma'am."

"I'm the general's wife!"

After a brief moment, the lieutenant replies, "Well do you know who I am?"

The lady declares, "No, I do not," after which the Lieutenant states, "Good," and runs out the door.

==================================================== As a loosely related aside, when I was a company commander, one of my platoon sergeants had this thing that whenever anybody farted, he'd shout, "Keep talking Lieutenant, we'll find you!"
