Every time my buddy comes home for a short visit, he always says "I'll take the fattie". Not something he learned in the Army but he says that when he goes out with the guys, there are always a few willing to jump on the grenade...and for some reason he always argues with them trying to biggest one. I think he just likes the stories.

Was he a Ranger?

Hey PFC, go ask the 1stSgt if he knows where you can find a PRC E-8...

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

If it ain't green, it ain't right.

If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, pick it up. If you can't pick it up, paint it.

FIGMO (Finally I Got My Orders)

Sign in a unit supply room: "This is not Burger King. You do not get it your way. You get it my way, or you don't get the son-of-a-b...."

"Get the key to the antenna field." "Get some BFO grease." "Tell maintenance that this R-390 needs new fallopian tubes."

And my personal favorite (given the outfit I started out with): "In God we trust - all others we monitor."

Not military "sayings", exactly, but is anyone else old enough to remember when there was an art to being able to read an order - back when everything was abbreviations, acronyms and mnemonics? Now they're in plain English. Where's the challenge in that?

As an example of what I'm talking about, my very first order in Sam's Green Dream began:

"FNI enl/renl RA EDCSA this date this stn and WP O/A 6 September 1966 FLW, MO"

Translation: "The following named individual enlisted or re-enlisted in the Regular Army with an entry date of contractual service agreement today's date at this station and will proceed on or about 6 September 1966 to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri"

If the enemy is in range, so are you.
