Military Wisdom... (5)
That reminds me of when I was in Basic. Sgt told me to go to Lt to get the keys to the hummer. Of course, the Lt tells me to see the sgt. Went back and forth until the SGT finally pointed out that all the hummers on base were push buttn start....LOL FNG!!!
I was told to fill out a form for the keys. It was called the ID 10 T form. (put it together without the spaces)
ID10T.......hahaha.....
