Not Ranked
“I suppose,” snarled the leathery sergeant to the private, “that when you’re discharged from the Army, you’ll wait for me to die, just so you can spit on my grave.”

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.

This Marine drill instructor, completely frazzled by the ineptitude of his recruits, burst into a blue streak of swearing hot enough to blister paint. He broke off suddenly when he noticed one of the recruits had been talking in ranks.

He asks them if he could speak freely, and they tell him to go ahead.
He answers, “Well, if you really ask my opinion, I’d say it’s all pleasure, for if there was any work connected with it, you SOB’s would have me doing it!”

In the midst of a blazing battle, an officer shouted orders to a nearby soldier. With considerable bravery, the GI ran directly on the field of battle, in the line of fire, to retrieve a dispatch case from a dead soldier and dove back to safety.
“Private,” the officer said, “I’m recommending you for a medal. You risked your life to save the locations of our secret warehouses.”
“Warehouses?!” the private shouted. “I thought you said whorehouses!!”
