Damn some of those were REALLY funny., but some didn't seem to be realistic...

I read some of them, 199 was probably my favorite.

Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot.

Sounds like some really smart chic signed up for the Army and after being warned a couple times about following regulations, spent the remaining three years figuring out how to cause trouble but not break regulations. Brilliant.

My favourite is:
87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

hehe ... "I should not assign new privates to 'guard the flight line'. "

the infamous flight line ... fun fun.

My favorites are right next to each other:

99. A smiley face is not used to mark a minefield.

100. Claymore mines are not filled with yummy candy, and it is wrong to tell new soldiers that they are.

Me neither. But it's probably nothing? Kind of like a flux capacitor? Either way, I assumed someone else would ask and save me from the effort :P

Ah, the flight line is a famous red line at U.S. Air Force Bases which marks the point beyond which unauthorized personel are considered targets by rambo-like air force security. If you look wayyyyy down at the end of the red line you'll see a jeep or two with a couple security men sitting there, salivating at the thought of you putting your big toe over the line, so that they can come give you hell.

Haha, ok, so it wasn't a "go guard something that doesn't exist" type thing.

Another variant that my brother told me about was to send a newbie to supply to fetch a "roll of flight line".

Ah yes, that would be the kind of interpretation I was looking for.

I went to the store yesterday and bought a dvd rewinder.
