The New Squaddie!
The Sergeant Major noticed a new squaddie and barked at him.
“Get over here now”
What’s your name soldier ? “ John “ replied soldier.
don’t call ANYONE by his first name “ barked the RSM.
“Look, I don’t know what bleeding Army you think you have joined son,
but I don’t call ANYONE by his first name” barked the RSM.
Scowling, “it breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in austerity”
I refer to my soldiers by their names only. Smith,Jones,Baker or whatever.
And you refer to me as “ Sir”. Do I make myself clear ? “
“ Yes Sir “
“ Now that we’ve got that straight, what is your last name ? “
The soldier sighed heavily, “ Darling, my name is John Darling Sir “
“ OK John, here’s what I want you to do.”
