lol...military intelligence my ass

great list.. I know that alot of those are "Murphy's laws"

I had a shirt that said Bomb Technician on the front, and If you see me running, keep up on the back. It was really funny :).

That's not a quote, that's common knowledge throughout the military. You'd be surprised what the leaders can come up with when you don't have any work to do at the time.

lol these are great.
