Military Minded?

Happy Hump Day

When I was polling my faithful followers last week on possible replacements for my closing groaners, several people mentioned quotes.  Well, it just so happens I have a few good quotes for the military minded I can share with you today.  Not military minded?  Okay, you get kitties.


'It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.'
- US Air Force Manual -



'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'
- Infantry Journal-










'If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up to him.'
- Infantry Journal-



'You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal.'
- Lead-in Fighter Training Manual -










'When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.'
-Multi-Engine Training Manual


'Any ship can be a minesweeper. Once.'
- Naval Ops Manual -








And for your Hump Day "aw"...



You know you'd forgive him.


Hope there was a chuckle in there someplace for you.  Just enough to get you over the hump and heading for the weekend.

Please say hi while you're here but forgive me if I'm a tad slow in responding.  I have to go gut a house today. Seriously.

See you on Friday.
