A little boy was standing in front of a mirror in the restroom at John F. Kennedy Airport, when in walked a Marine staff sergeant, dressed in his dress blues. The little boy turned to the Marine and said, "Wow! Are you a Marine?"

The Marine replied, "Why, yes I am, young man. Would you like to wear my hat?"

"Boy, would I!," said the little boy. He took the hat and placed it on his head and turned to admire himself in the mirror.

As he was looking in the mirror, he heard the door open and through a ray of bright light, a man entered the room. But, this was not just a man -- he was more than a man. He was an Airborne Ranger.

The little boy turned and went over to the soldier. As he approached him, he could see the reflection in his boots. His eyes widened as he stared up at the soldier's chest full of medals and combat ribbons.


He tried to speak, but he couldn't. Finally, he took a deep breath, and managed to say, "Excuse me, Sir. Are you an Airborne Ranger?"

The Ranger replied with a thunderous voice, "Why yes, I am!! Would you like to shine my boots?"

The little boy smiled, and said, "Oh, no sir!! I'm not a Marine. I'm just wearing his hat

Ammunition Substantiation Friday
28 March 2008

An infantry brigade was training in the summer heat, learning methods to
counter offensive tactics. That summer, the area had experienced an
infestation of rattlesnakes. Officers and NCOs were given one magazine of
live ammunition to counter this danger, as several men had already been
bitten.

So much ammunition was expended shooting, supposedly, at snakes that the
post commander demanded that every officer and NCO who had shot at a snake present the dead snake as proof that the expenditure of rounds was
justifiable.

The next day, the post commander entered his office and spotted a shoe box
on his desk. He opened it, revealing a sleepy and sluggish, but very live,
rattlesnake. Inside the box were twenty expended cartridges, and a short
note.

The note said, "I missed!"
