I posted in this thread already, so I hope I’m not repeating myself.
Lots of great sayings but one that I really remember was how my drill sgt despite all his usual yelling and cussing, would appear next to me when I was lagging on a run or road march. He would lean in and quietly ask “you quitting on me, IGWT?” No anger, no malice, just a quiet question.

"We walk our beat! We beat our meat! We fück anything within 50 feet!"
"I wish all the ladies.."
[Echo]"I wish all the ladies.."
"Were holes in the road..."
[Echo]"Were holes in the road..."
"And I was a dumptruck..."
[Echo]"And I was a dumptruck..."
"I'd fill'em with my load!"

Its bullshit. E tools and TA 50 gear was always what kicked me back, repeated]fly when out processing. Get to the point where i would clean the shit out of it then bring it back better than when I got it. That was the Supply Sgt mo. Finally, they took the e tool but would not take the TA50 gear. My last duty station I said f*** it, change me for it. Supply went ape shit andd asked if I realized it would be months until I saw the charge and until then the Sgt snd up the chain of command would be ‘out’ gear. I said I didn’t care, take it out of the 2 months unused leave pay coming. CO asked to see the gear, showed him and he could not find anything wrong with it. I walked back to Supply to turn it in and get stamped and the Supply Sgt just threw it in the bin with the rest.
It may be one Army, but there sure are a lot of little Kingdoms complete with power wielding dictators.

We had a Puerto Rican asst. squad leader who could not remember the actual phrase to save his life.
He always said "Private you giving me case in da ass"
![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Then he got more pissed as we laughed at what he said!
The old divisional Cavalry Squadron TO&E was huge - nine vehicles per platoon, three Troops, and an Air Troop. And while nominally assigned to First Brigade, we were a divisional asset.
To boot, the Platoon Leader’s track had three radio nets. You could talk on the troop and platoon net, while monitoring the troop command net. Ditto Troop Commanders, who were on the next higher net.
In REFORGER 84, our mission seemed to change by the minute. At one point, with all the radios going at once, someone commented, “That sounds like chickens squawking.”
And thus, the “Change Of Mission Chicken” was born. Don’t think we invented it, but it still brings a chuckle.
P.S. Always worried about security even though we had the Vinson devices. Really tried to limit platoon chatter.
When the wall came down, the STASI files became available. They confirmed those were never broken. All they would hear was a beep.
