Damn some of those were REALLY funny., but some didn't seem to be realistic...

I read some of them, 199 was probably my favorite.

Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot.

Sounds like some really smart chic signed up for the Army and after being warned a couple times about following regulations, spent the remaining three years figuring out how to cause trouble but not break regulations.  Brilliant.

My favourite is:
87. 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.

[Grok]

hehe ... "I should not assign new privates to 'guard the flight line'. "

the infamous flight line ... fun fun.

My favorites are right next to each other:

99. A smiley face is not used to mark a minefield.

100. Claymore mines are not filled with yummy candy, and it is wrong to tell new soldiers that they are.

I have no idea what a flight line is

I have no idea what a flight line is

Me neither. But it's probably nothing? Kind of like a flux capacitor? Either way, I assumed someone else would ask and save me from the effort

[Grok]

Ah, the flight line is a famous red line at U.S. Air Force Bases which marks the point beyond which unauthorized personel are considered targets by rambo-like air force security.  If you look wayyyyy down at the end of the red line you'll see a jeep or two with a couple security men sitting there, salivating at the thought of you putting your big toe over the line, so that they can come give you hell.

[Adron]

Haha, ok, so it wasn't a "go guard something that doesn't exist" type thing.

Another variant that my brother told me about was to send a newbie to supply to fetch a "roll of flight line".

Ah yes, that would be the kind of interpretation I was looking for.

I went to the store yesterday and bought a dvd rewinder.

I need one of those too; my DVD player didn't come with that function.
