It's great when they're in sequence like that.167. Not allowed to operate a business out of the barracks.
168. Especially not a pornographic movie studio.
169. Not even if they *are* 'especially patriotic films'

I've seen a guy asked where the flux capacitor on a HMMWV was in driver's academy, he was the only one in the vehicle who didn't get it, even though we were all cracking up.
Personally, I've always wanted to come up with a training aid claymore, that was basically a spring-loaded box filled with yummy treats, just to abuse that one rule to the fullest.
I've gotten away with seven

Must not taunt the French any more.
Must attempt to not antagonize SAS.
Must never call an SAS a 'Wanker'.
Never confuse a Dutch soldier for a French one.
Never tell a German soldier that 'We kicked your ass in World War 2!'
Don't tell Princess Di jokes in front of the paras (British Airborne).
And a personal fave:
The Irish MPs are not after 'Me frosted lucky charms'.
Here's one for here:
I am not the atheist chaplain.
EDIT: Silly enter key. Ok, the last of my faves:
'Napalm sticks to kids' is *not* a motivational phrase.
An order to 'Put Kiwi on my boots' does *not* involve fruit.
An order to 'Make my Boots black and shiny' does not involve electrical tape.
The proper response to a lawful order is not 'Why?'

Shouting ‘‘Let’’s do the village! Let’’s do the whole fucking village!’’ while out on a mission is bad.
So, did this guy actually TRY to build a giant battle robot out of humvees?

No, but he probably suggested forming Mega Humvee Zord to his superiors in response to them asking him to do something. At least that's what I did.CaptainChewbacca wrote:

'Must not valiantly push officers onto hand grenades to save the squad', sigh, that takes me back.

You know, I'd really like to know what this guy's job actually WAS. Was he psy-ops or something?

Anyways, in relation to the 'draft' thread, if the unlikely occurs and I do get drafted, I'm printing out the list and seeing how many things on it I can do before getting discharged/killed....He collected those things into a hillarious list and posted them to the web. The site hadn't been updated in a couple of years and has since gone away; but the list is classic, so I saved it....
My favorites:
58: The following words and phrases may not be used in a cadence- Budding sexuality, necrophilia, I hate everyone in this formation and wish they were dead, sexual lubrication, black earth mother, all Marines are latent homosexuals, Tantric yoga, Gotterdammerung, Korean hooker, Eskimo Nell, we've all got jackboots now, slut puppy, or any references to squid.
-Damien87: If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
Gaian Paradigm: Because not all fantasy has to be childish crap.
Ephemeral Pie: Because not all role-playing has to be shallow.
My art: Because not all DA users are talentless emo twits.
"Phant, quit abusing the He-Wench before he turns you into a caged bitch at a Ren Fair and lets the tourists toss half munched turkey legs at your backside." -Mr. Coffee

Thats actually two cadences. There is a shit load of verse that is only a couple lines each that you can string together in any order that makes you happy.Metrion Cascade wrote:And thanks to the Marine Corps for supplying the "Napalm Sticks to Kids" cadence:

Any way, Lock and Load my .50 calibur is how we sang it.
