2/3/2010
One month into Marine Corps training in San Diego, Calif., we were preparing for a ten-mile march in 100 degree weather when a jeep drove up with a large radio in the back. “Who knows anything about radios?” our drill instructor asked. Several hands went up, and anticipating a ride in the jeep, recruits began listing their credentials. Everything from a degree in communications to a part-time job in a repair shop was declared. The DI listened to all the contenders, then pointed to the most qualified. “You” he barked. “Carry the radio,” Jim Sapaugh

Don't want to hijack your post RJ but that reminded me of this one.
A new draftee sat down for an interview at the sergeant's desk. Without wasting time the sergeant demanded, "Education?'.
The draftee thought this will be an opportunity to impress. " I attended St. Louis grade school and maintained a A average through all 8 grades. High school was Newport High, graduated with honors and gave the graduation speech for my class" At this the sergeant lifted an eyebrow.
Encouraged the draftee went on " I attended Columbia University and graduated with a BS degree in English. I was given a scholarship to Oxford University in England where I completed my studies toward a PHD degree" Post graduate work at Yale " Having good thoughts the draftee paused.
The sergeant looked at the draftee with cynical eyes picked up a rubber stamp, rolled it thoughtfully on the ink pad and stamped the draftee's papers with.....................LITERATE.
(I don't take credit for this, heard it in the Service.)
