Whiile working in the infantry and with infantry, Ive made some odd comments to officers, soldiers, and allies:
"You will NOT climb in and out of a second floor window without my permission!"
"Are you telling me that we are at the 300 meter mark, and you are aiming that rifle as if it were a pistol?"
"See that glittering looking patch on the road? Thats black ice. No, dont drive into it!"
"I am seriously considering requesting that you not be allowed to drive vehicles unsupervised"
"I probably dont want to hear the answer to this but why are you burning that cigarette into your arm?"
"Im sorry Colonel, but there are some things I cant fix no matter how much you yell at me."
"The next person who tells me to 'go see my POC' instead of answering me is going to eat a piece of paper with POC written on it."
"I been looking for that pistol for 3 hours, and you tell me you FORGOT you had put it into the lockup box!?"
"I disassembled your weapons and hid them in the freezer. Thats what you get for stealing my jeep."
"There's nothing wrong with you; they're ignoring me and anybody who associates with me"
"Have you given this SHARP training to the infantry? Because everything you just said not to do is a prerequisite for being an NCO"
"Nobody likes to work with him because hes being a deliberate pain in the ***. Why not make him the new operations officer, they'll hate whoever you post into the position anyway."
"Its not a computer game sir, its a war gaming tactical simulation."
"Could you drive a little straighter? Im trying to type back here."
"MWO, have you taken SHARP training? I dont think it worked!"
"You've heard what their weapons experience is; dont you think a first aid kit might be a good thing to have with us?"
"A DOUBLE-red alert? What the hell is that? I'd hate to see what a TRIPLE-red alert is."
"If another one of our guys is attacked by a Turk with a knife, I'd appreciate you letting me know right away."
"Look, the Stand Easy is a Canadian-only facility. Yes, the three of you can bring in friends, but not 20 of them, and especially Brits who drink all the beer and then not pay for anything. Now its on YOUR tab!"
"Look, I know you were just being friendly, but with Canadians, if two or more guys are using the shower stalls, you NEVER allow bodily contact. Its just not done. You're 250 pounds, you probably scared the hell out of him."
Any other gems out there?
