The entire company was out on maneuvers. After a two-hour march one of the men asked the Sergeant, "How far to the bivouac ?"

The Sergeant replied, "About three miles."

Another hour went by, the men were starting to tire; a second soldier asked, "How far to the bivouac ?"

The Sergeant replied, "About three miles."

Another two and half hours dragged by, and a third solider asked the same question. The response was the same -- "About Three miles."

A fourth solider said, "Thank God we're holding our own !"

A Marine recruit was issued a comb. That afternoon they shaved all the hair off his head. The next day he was given a toothbrush and not an hour later, the dentist pulled his teeth.

That afternoon he was issued a jockstrap -- he's still AWOL.

Had a married buddy over in Vietnam who received letters faithfully from his wife. I commented one day that was great, how she kept in touch so often.

He said, "Great ? Are you kidding, all she does is nag. I can't even enjoy the damn war in peace."

A rookie on weekend leave walks into a recruiting office and says to the recruiting officer, "Can you give me that sales pitch again ?

I'm getting really discouraged."

At the conclusion of Boot Camp, this Army guy was being assigned to his permanent duty station. He was asked about all of his work experience in civilian life and told the officer that he had worked for Dr. Pepper.

He was assigned to a Medical Corps right away.
