Finish the phrase and/or answer what this is for: "You this is me, adjust fire over!" |

Funny story that goes along with this. One night when we were in the field keeping warm in a HMMWV, our Plt Sgt was lying down in the back with his head towards the cab, and he is talking when over the net comes "You this is me.." and so on. He pipes up with "Butthead, Butthead, this is Buttface!" and we start rolling, cause it was totally out of character, and one of the other guys says laughing, "What was that sergeant?" and he yells, still laughing, "BUTTHEAD, BUTTHEAD, THIS IS BUTTFACE!" But my pal held the radio handset right behind his head and had it go out over the net. Then there is a crackle and "Whoever just transmitted as Buttface better wise up and KNOCK IT OFF!" Our SFC sat up like he was shot from a cannon, and looked like he had seen a ghost. Man, we were knocking them out for days but it was worth every drop of sweat. Cheers |

We had hand held radios with a manual squeltch (sp?) button that we could push in case we were slightly out of good commo range and still needed to hear something. I was the desk SGT one night and my patrol supervisor was in the back room of our MP shack. The exchange went something like this: Me: Hickory dickory doc, this chick was sucking my c**k, over. (then I hit the button so it sounded liek I actually made a transmission) Him: Uh, tell me you didn't really say that over the radio, did you? Me: Well we're gonna to find out because the port commander has a radio in his hotel room. Needless to say I had to let my boss in on the joke or he would have killed me. |
