Recruit gone AWOL
As the sun rose over Parris Island, the senior drill
instructor realized that one of his recruits had gone AWOL. A search party
was dispatched immediately. After a few hours the recruit was discovered hiding
in some bushes. He was sent back to the base and promptly escorted to the drill
instructor's office. The instructor asked the young recruit, "Why did you go AWOL?"
The recruit replied, "My first day here you issued me a comb, and then proceeded
to cut my hair off. The second day you issued me a toothbrush, and sent me to the
dentist, who proceeded to pull all my teeth. The third day you issued me a jock
strap, and I wasn't about to stick around and find out what would follow that SIR."
