Hey Joe, I’ve seen the stripes sewn on upside down. Guy in my squad got the night off duty to sew his on right side up. Smart fellow. (The old PFC stripe) I bet you even know the Army way of getting rid of the crabs with an ice pick and lighter fluid.
Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty said, about 9 different ways ago
“We used to say that there were 3 ways to do things in the US Army, the right way, the wrong way and the Army way. ”
I always heard that, and the explanation that the “Army way” was so that everyone would do it the same way, and then if you were interrupted halfway through, the next guy would know what was still needed to finish the job.
Joe: I got crabs from the bedding at the 7th Army Intelligence School in Oberammergau, Germany.
The ice-pick joke was that you shave off half your pubic hair, set fire to the other half, then stab the lice to death with an ice pick as they run out. Ha ha. Funny joke. The powder worked better.
(Other than the crabs, Oberammergau was one of the best things the Army ever did for me. Six weeks in the beautiful Bavarian Alps, classes from 0900 to 1500, five days a week, with a pass in my pocket. Hiking trails to the tops of the mountains, with stairs and hand-rails the whole way. Good times – when not waiting for nuclear war to break out.)

A military solution? It looks like a soft option to me.

Ah, all the hours I spent spit-shining my boots. Do they make a tan-booted volunteer army do that anymore? I hope not.
