second best army in Ukraine<br />
MILITARY HUMOUR<br />
Just before a paratrooper had his<br />
first parachute jump, his sergeant<br />
reminded him,<br />
"Count to ten, and then pull the<br />
first rip cord. If it snarls, pull the<br />
second rip cord for your auxiliary<br />
chute. After you land, our truck<br />
will pick you up."<br />
<strong>The</strong> paratrooper took a deep breath<br />
and jumped. He counted to ten and<br />
pulled the first cord. Nothing<br />
pulled the second cord. Again,<br />
nothing happened.<br />
As he plummeted to the ground, he<br />
said to himself, "I'll bet that truck<br />
won't be there either!"<br />
NATO Commander in the desert. asked a<br />
group of troops. "if you found a scorpion<br />
in your tent. What would you do?" ARMY<br />
said "I would throw a boot at it." Marine<br />
said" I would pick it up by the tail/stinger<br />
& eat it. Air Force said "I would call Room<br />
service & ask why is there a tent in my<br />
Room?"<br />
What happened to the navy officer who<br />
went to see a mind reader? Apparently,<br />
there was no charge<br />
How many successful jumps does a<br />
paratrooper have to make before he is<br />
ready for combat?<br />
All of them.
