Most of the time Drill Sergeants are unflappable. This one day though the tuff old-time Sergeant did pause a minute or two. He asked one of the recruits, a wiry looking lil' guy if he was fit for hard labor.

The guy didn't blink and said, "Well, some Judges thought so."

A farm boy was drafted. On his first furlough, his Father asked him what he thought of Army life.

"It's pretty good Dad. The food's not bad, the work's easy but best of all, they let ya sleep real late in the morning."

The first woman recruit in the army reported for duty and was told that although her quarters would be in a separate building, she was to mess with the men.

It wasn't until four weeks later that someone finally told her that meant to eat her meals with them.

During World War Two, a young airman safely landed his plane on an Aircraft Carrier in the Pacific just after dusk. He jumped out of the cockpit and exclaimed, "Boy ! What a run ! I shot down three Zeros and sank a destroyer.

"Ahhhh, velly good Yank," came the reply, "But you make one rittle mistrake."

And then there's the Pentagon.
That's a building that has five sides to it --
On every matter.

A potential draftee in the 60's was told to bring a urine sample to the medical office and report back for the results he next day.

When he did, he was told "Your Father has diabetes, your girlfriend is pregnant, your dog is in heat, and you're in the Army."
