My favourites -


Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot.

Must not valiantly push officers onto hand grenades to save the squad.

I am not allowed to mount a bayonet on a crew-served weapon.

Never, ever, attempt to correct a Green Beret officer about anything.

Suffering from ads?

Isn't there a Darwin award nomination for things like these:
quote:

22. Must never call an SAS a '****er'.

110. Never, ever, attempt to correct a Green Beret officer about anything.



I made a similar list that would apply to my buddy. These were the things I came up with out of my mind, but if I ask him, he could probably make a list as long as that Schwartz guy:

1. Don’t tell younger but superior officers that ”as a veteran, I only accept orders that are given in a humble tone”
2. Don’t put cement blocks in your buddie’s backpack before a march
3. Don’t write “This PC has been touched by my genitals” on the screen saver
4. Don’t put tennis balls in your buddie’s backpack before the custom’s drug detection dog is about to sniff it (as tennis balls are used to train those dogs)
5. Don’t ask Lebanese weapons dealers to get you a Merkava tank
6. Don’t make funny imitations of celebrity war reporters over the public loudspeaker system while they are guests of your camp
7. Don’t imitate pigs, donkeys, hippopotamus, seals, or other animals as a morning wakeup call over the public loudspeaker system
8. Don’t broadcast highly pornographic gay humour recordings as a morning wakeup call over the public loudspeaker system
9. The official Swedish Army morning wakeup call music should be used at least once during a 6-month mission
10. Don’t wear the 60’s “India Mission Uniform” when the rest of the battalion wear the M/90
11. Don’t put your genitals in your squad leaders’ ear while she is crying of home sickness
12. Black shoeshine in your face does not automatically give you authorization to enter the Ghana officer’s mess to get a few more drinks after your own mess has closed
13. Don’t sneak into the guest barracks late at night to take nude celebrity pictures of visiting female field artists
14. While taking nude celebrity pictures of a sleeping female field artist, don’t remove her boyfriend’s arm from her breast to get a better view
15. Don’t show 13-14 to your buddies at home
16. Don’t take pictures of a fellow soldier who faded out drunk while two other soldiers put their genitals in his mouth
17. Don’t post an enlargement of 16 in the cantina with the added text “My mouth - your toilet”
18. Don’t tell perverted holocaust jokes to civilians in Tel Aviv
19. When hitting on a girl at a bar in Haifa, telling her that your civilian job is to “gas animals to death” will not make you score, even if it’s true
20. An inflatable sheep sex toy is not an appropriate barrel protection cap for the automatic cannon of your APC.
21. An inflatable sheep sex toy is not an appropriate gift to a kindergarten
22. Cat food is not for human consumption
23. Neither is hair styling gel
24. Don’t bring home live HE-ammo souvenirs above 12 mm caliber

This is actually a valid training tool. However, leave it to the instructors, eh?

This kind of implies that, while a tennis ball is a bad idea, it's ok to keep your stash of drugs in your buddy's backpack.
I mean, what are the MPs gonna do? Charge him with possession of a tennis ball?

Celebrity war reporters? That kind of suggests I'm in a war zone - and if I am, I'll take the pi55 out of any civilian lucky enough to be out of the way. If they can't take a joke they shouldn't be there.

Entering any mess not your own without an invitation will get you punished, from a simple fine up to a firing squad.
