| THE FENCE! | You know you are out of the military when! | ||||||||||||||||
|
There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you. Author Unknown |
You know you are out of the military when- 1. I call my boss Mike, his boss Larry, and his boss Bob. 2. Kiwi regains its meanings as a flightless bird native to New Zealand. 3. I'm now making full use of both arms for carrying items, and (once realized I don't wear one anymore) save loads of time not looking for my hat. 4. One look at my new paycheck and I now know why they called it the L.E.S.(s). (Leave and Earnings Statement) 5. Any time saved not doing PT in the morning is lost trying to figure out what to wear to work. 6. I can again use the "passive" voice in my writing without the grammar police smacking my knuckles. 7. Forget to shave? Just tell 'em you're starting your beard that day! Haircut? Ha! 8. Can walk to the right side of Mike, Larry, and Bob without violating some medieval concept of courtesy. 9. Have finally worked "Airborne", "Hoo-Ah", "Air Assault", Sh*!", and "Fu#@" out of my daily vocabulary. 10. Business lunches, golfing, and baseball season tickets are considered an essential part of work 11. The ability to run long distances quickly and do many push-ups or sit-ups is not confused for intelligence, leadership potential, or degree of motivation. | ||||||||||||||||
