Heh


Miss D. found this on Facebook and forwarded it to me.




Based on my experience in uniform, I can so believe that . . .

Isn't there a truism that the most dangerous thing around is a 2LT with a map and compass?

One outfit I was in had a 2LT who was a recent graduate from Michigan State and a product of their ROTC program. He was a nice guy so we took pity on him and helped him get his C Ration cans open. He was a long time figuring out the P-38.

@John

Jerry Pournelle sad just that and then admitted he had one of the 2LTs with a map at one time.

@Jim

Hard to believe he'd never seen a P-38 before he was commissioned. I saw them as a kid in the 7th grade, although I was an Air Force brat and I was many times the envy of my classmates when I brought Cs for lunch.

Second Lieutenants with maps and compasses are a menace, but if you want real danger, you need a field grade who has just been visited by The Good Idea Fairy (tm).

Or, worse yet, a Warrant Officer who has decided to revisit the days of his misspent youth, and do something "the old way"...
