That "if it aint rainin, you aint trainin" was one of my favorite sayings in the army. The idea being, war is harsh, war is miserable, and mother nature doesnt give a rat's ass how miserable you are. I always enjoyed training in harsh weather conditions. Yeah it sucks to be in it, but as soon as it is over, it is over, and you move on. I remember having to spend a 3 hour guard duty one night in a hasty foxhole position that had filled with water (hasty foxhole is 18 inches deep by 8 feet long and 2.5 feet wide) It was miserable for the first hour, then I just changed my outlook, it was like soaking in a bathtub for the last two hours... albeit a cold bathtub.
The other saying I got a kick out of was "Pain is just weakness leaving the body" Technically is absolute rubbish, but man it just sounds tough. I know it comes from a movie or something, but I like it regardless.
on the subject of cool sayings, I had a Command Sergeant Major one time give a pep talk at our EIB opening ceremonies... he said he wasnt a very bright man, hell he could jump into a barrel of titties and come out squeezing his own ass... shortly followed by he could jump in a tub of pussy and come out sucking his thumb.. the guy should have been a stand up comic.
