Military Semantics
-
A little more military humor: What it means to “secure a building” depends on which branch of the military you serve with. If you tell an Army officer to secure a building, he'll lead a heavily-armed platoon into it, set up a perimeter, and arrest and interrogate its inhabitants. If you tell a Marine officer to secure a building, he'll lead in a squad at night, surround the building and call an air strike. If you tell a Naval officer to secure a building, he'll turn off the coffeepot and lock the door. If you tell an Air Force officer to secure a building, he'll go to Contracting and request a lease with an option to buy. ;)
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift -that's why it's called the present

This signature was created by "Code Project Quoter".I'm told that during the Watts riots in Los Angeles many years ago, the army was called in to help support the police (despite posse comitatus rules to the contrary). A miscommunication occurred when a police officer asked an army troop to "cover him" and the army guy started laying down cover fire.
