Guard

"Guard"

The guard in Air Force basic training must check
the ID of everyone who comes to the door. A trainee
was standing guard when he heard a pounding on
the door and the order, "Let me in!" Through the
window, he saw the uniform of a lieutenant colonel
and immediately opened up. He quickly realized his mistake.

"Airman! Why didn't you check for my authority to enter?"

Thinking fast, the airman replied, "Sir, you'd have gotten in anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh,..the hinges on the door are broken, Sir."

"What? Show me!"

With a twinkle in his eye, the airman opened the
door, let the officer step out, and slammed the door.

"Airman! Open up immediately!"

"Sir, may I see your authority to enter?"
-----
The airman was rewarded for outsmarting his commanding officer.

"Sentry"

A new soldier was on sentry duty at the main gate.
His orders were clear: no car was to enter unless
it had a special sticker on the windshield.

A big Army car came up with a general seated in the
back. The sentry said, "Halt, who goes there?"

The corporal, who was driving, said, "General Wheeler."

"I'm sorry, I can't let you through. You have to have
a sticker on the windshield."

The general said, "Drive on!" The sentry replied,
"Hold it! You really can't come through. I have
orders to shoot if you try driving in without a sticker."

The general repeated, "I'm telling you, son, drive on!"

The sentry walked up to the rear window and said,
"General, I'm new at this. Do I shoot you or your driver?"
