COMBAT TRUISMS
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you.
Never look important; the enemy may be low on ammo.
Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.
Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.
OCS
Officer candidate school at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, was tough. During an inspection, a fellow soldier received 30 demerits for a single penny found within his area. Ten demerits were for "valuables insecure," ten because the penny wasn’t shined, and ten because Abraham Lincoln needed a shave.
Boot Camp
My brother and I arrived at boot camp together. On the first morning, our unit was dragged out of bed by our drill sergeant and made to assemble outside. "My name’s Sergeant Jackson," he snarled. "Is there anyone here who thinks he can whip me?"
My six-foot-three, 280-pound brother raised his hand and said, "Yes, sir, I do."
Our sergeant grabbed him by the arm and led him out in front of the group. "Men," he said, "this is my new assistant. Now, is there anyone here who thinks he can whip both of us?"
Parachute Problems
The topic of the day at Army Airborne School was what you should do if your parachute malfunctions. We had just gotten to the part about reserve parachutes when another student raised his hand.
"If the main parachute malfunctions," he asked, "how long do we have to deploy the reserve?"
Looking the trooper square in the face, the instructor replied, "The rest of your life."

I actually went through Artillery OCS at Ft. Sill OK. The thing that surprised me is that "quibbling" was a violation of the honor code.

I heard one a while back that went: The longest free fall on record? The chute opened on the second bounce!
