Instead of a gold chain around your neck, you've got a stainless steel one
threaded thru a P38.Your street addresses have been Infantry Blvd., Howitzer Lane and Helmet Drive.
When in a strange place and needing a restroom, you ask where the latrine is.
You ridicule other campers for setting up down wind and down slope of the
latrine.You're the only one that doesn't complain about having to stand and eat at the
same time at parties.You're always conscious of your per diem spending limit when in a nightclub on TDY.
