During an exercise, I heard a radio transmission between a captain and a lieutenant who has a new platoon leader.   After the lieutenant reported over an unsecured radio network that the unit was located at a certain map coordination, the captain told his young charge that he should not give his location “in the clear” The lieutenant replied, “we’re not in the clear.  The platoon is located in the woods next to the farmer’s barn.”

Ha! My dad was 20 year man. Green Beret, and a Non-com. I never will forget one time I was hunting with him and one of his army buddies. The friend loudly released superfluous gas from the sphincter prompting my dad to inquire "Lieutenant who?"
