MILITARY LIFE

Sergeants
They rants!

Slit trench
Big stench!

Don't sass
The brass!

Long march
Sore arch!

Payday
Yea! Yea!

Discharge
Bye, Sarge!

Lindsay Laurie March 4, 2016 at 5:17 PM G'day Bob ... and how did you say goodbye to the Sergeant Bob - Lindsay Robert L. Hinshaw March 4, 2016 at 6:57 PM Actually I had a pretty decent drill sgt when I entered the AF in Jul '48 by the name of Sgt Ashe. He "promoted" me in fact to acting corporal for our flight which gave me some extra privileges including catching hell if something went wrong - ha!
