(JaiChai) Military Orders - Just like a box of chocolates...

A buddy from Recon and I were ordered to go to Survival Training for "Regular Troops".
We were like, WTF? And a Candy-Ass army program too?
Automatically we said, "Yes sir. Right away, Sir!"
When we reported, the army wanted us to salute indoors and we "respectfully declined" with a "Hell No. And you can suck my…"

"Drop! Drop! And give me 20 regulation, army push-ups!," screamed the Duty Officer.
In unison, my buddy and I said, "Yes Sir! Which hand?"
(Needless to say, from that point on, there were no roses in the bathtub and mints on our pillows.)
Damn, to this day, I have no idea why we were sent to that rinky-dink, waste-of-taxpayer "Army Military Survival School".
After three days of excruciatingly boring academics, we finally were let loose in the wild for live exercises.

But soon we realized that the in-class syllabus and in-the-field simulations were concocted by desk jockeys with no real world ops experience.
In two words: Fu€kin' Stupid!
Disillusioned and bored out of our minds we decided to have at least a little fun.
On the night of the "Escape and Evasion" exercise, we subdued a couple of the army instructors, duck-taped their mouths shut and tied them (face-to-face) to a tree with their shoelaces.
Upon discovery of our "innovative survival skills", we were barred from any further exercises from that point on and "graduated early" the next morning.

Lol!
Imagine that?
May you and yours be well and love life today.
