Too funny....come on, you can come up with one that is family friendly.
The battalion CO asked me about it, and when I explained it to him, he broke out laughing.
I can attest to that, the keel is on the surface.
Rock and Roll LOL
Loe it when a plan goes well. A lesson they will never forget. I can just imagine how the story fared over time.
“This guy got shot right there in class.”
My SP4 clerk went on to a distinguished career in cyber-security. In 2005, he contacted me out of the blue. He had been telling that story over the years to the classes he taught, and every time it brought down the house. Especially the kid “who didn’t see nothin’.”
Thank you Kathy!
In the immediate post-Vietnam era, marijuana use was rampant in the military, and we officers had been trained to arrest anyone using weed and then call the Criminal Investigation Division to come and process the malefactor.
One Friday night I landed the task of duty officer, and as I was leaving the mess hall to go back to Battalion HQ, I passed the barracks of a platoon from which emanated entire clouds of marijuana smoke. I could have gotten a contact high had I lingered long enough. This platoon was populated by some of the worst badasses in the battalion, and I understood that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
I grabbed one of the troops walking by and said, “You’re lucky my allergies are acting up because right now I can’t smell a damn thing. But I’m going back to headquarters, I’m going to spray my nose, and when I come back here in five minutes I want to smell nothing but God’s fresh air! Do you understand me, private?!”
Five minutes later, it wasn’t exactly fresh air that I smelled. It was Right Guard.
Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))....
It is his HOUSE.. AND HIS HUMANS.
He is about 12” tall and Maddi tried to take over on her days. GranMa says NO.
Good evening, Delta21....the new guy, huh?
Heard a good one from a libertarian co worker today that served on a Carrier.
He said the showers for enlisted and would be AFU.
There are so many people on a carrier no one knows no one from Jonah, so he would just wander into the officers shower in a towel.
Who’s gonna know?
Who checks yer ID?
Splashing idea.

Great stories you have, Mr. P! :)
When Mrs SR was getting her bath tonight, guess who stuck a paw under the bathroom door looking for her?
How cool that our troops took the time and care to help the kids.
Fritz probably remembered this story his whole life....his being able to “help” one of the American soldiers.
Good evening, Michael...I’ll bet Uncle Glenn has LTS of stories.
At least I didn’t get assaulted. Right Guard is the traditional means of covering up marijuana smoke.
And those are the clean ones.
Now that is an industrious sailor. LOL!
Who IS gonna check IDs? d:o)
