The Army teaches you how to stand in line

I get fidgety in line.

Drop down and give me twenty!

Translate: give me 20 pushups...

Tell you what, you can do it and I'll watch.

In Vietnam, we were paid in MPC (military pay certificate). Every once in a while, the Army would change the design (to prevent counterfeiting I think), and we'd have to return to a base camp and swap it out. I liked that as it usually gave us an overnight stay in a rear camp and that meant a real hot meal.

It also meant you needed your shot records before they swapped the money heh

That's another reason why I'm glad I was in the USAF. Outside of a month of Basic training....which was shortened from 6 weeks originally, because my school was starting early, the USAF was little different than holding a civilian job.
