#Laughs A Maintenance
Battalion in Germany had
just received a brand new Executive Officer, an
Armor Major.

The
Major proceeded to issue new SOP directives (Standard
Operating
Procedures) that WOULD be followed under all circumstances.

One
of these
directives was that NO ONE over the rank of Staff Sergeant
would
drive their own vehicle, that was what the lower enlisted were for.

One morning, the Master Sergeant in charge of the S-2 shop of the

battalion had an intel report that was due at Division Headquarters within

the hour, and his clerk, a PFC, was off that morning because of
duty the
night before.

The Sergeant felt that he had no choice, the
report HAD
to get to Division; so he got into his Jeep and started to
Division
Headquarters.

As he got to the gate, the XO stopped
him.

In a very sarcastic voice he
said, "Aren't we paying our
drivers a lot these days?"

The NCO, without missing a beat re
plied, "Not at all, Sir, when you
consider what we are paying gate
guards."
