Because we can all use some humor these days, I posted an amusing excerpt from one of my all time favorite military books, Bugles and a Tiger, over at my other blog. (What– you didn’t know I had another blog??? Why yes. Please drop by anytime, I’m always open for business. Come early, stay late.)
I posted it over there because it’s slightly off-color, and we like to maintain a high-brow tone here ar Op-For.
Military vets will know what a TEWT is. If you’re puzzled, ask a vet.
Enjoy!

A TEWT is a Practical Exercise Not Involving Soldiers.
At TBS we also called it a Total Waste of Available Time.
Ah, TBS! Six days of great training wrapped around six months of boredom, “we always have done it this way” neanderthals, and plenty of ice cold beer. Thank God for Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown, and The Irish Times!
Those are similar to a P.E.N.I.S., which is a “Practical Exercise Not Involving Soldiers.”
I thought it was called a Practical Exercise Not Including Soldiers.
