Danged if ole Moose ani't got both his boots in his ther' Hollar Hole'

 

Moose was asked by this Veteran if he knew his arms drill, ' YES SIR'. After somehow struggling through it Moose asked the Veteran if he would like a shot at it. ' Been 40 years since I held a M-1, but lets go for it ' he repiled. Moose called him to attention, ' Right shoulder arms', Moose ordered, the Veteran put the M-1 on his left shoulder, ' Don't you know your left from your right, you sad sack' barked Moose.The Veteran got himself sorted out and was quickly into his stride. His buddies were laughing all through this exchange. At the end the Veteran said ' Thanks son, I enjoyed that it's been a long time'.As he walked away, with his buddies still laughing with him, the last Veteran stopped besides Moose and told him ' There's not been too many inlisted men who have told a Two Star General that he was a sad sack' !!!!!

 

:frown::frown: Oh Moose! I can hear the laughter all the way over here!
