171. On training missions, try not to shoot down the General’s helicopter.

Chronos has been missing in action for a couple of days. Maybe she's gone AWOL. One thing I know for certain is that friendly fire had nothing to do with it. -hides bazooka behind back- Mm hmmm...

On a similar note, there is apparently a specialist (no joke, it's an actual rank--jeez) in the US Army who has a lot of free time on his hands and the appropriate amount of crazy awesome to make up for it. Thus was born Skippy's List: essential reading for anybody planning to enlist, already enlisted, thinking about enlisting, or completely uninterested in any of these but looking for a good laugh and further proof of humanity's creativity.

Additionally the guy keeps a blog and comes across as a genuinely kind, funny person. Of course it helped that the third entry in is about ferrets. No joke. Skippy keeps ferrets. (proof)

Anyways, I figure I've bored you enough with some actual writing and no lol pictures, so here are my top five items from the List (not counting that gem up in the title):

18. May no longer perform my now (in)famous “Barbie Girl Dance” while on duty.

58. The following words and phrases may not be used in a cadence- Budding sexuality, necrophilia, I hate everyone in this formation and wish they were dead, sexual lubrication, black earth mother, all Marines are latent homosexuals, Tantric yoga, Gotterdammerung, Korean hooker, Eskimo Nell, we’ve all got jackboots now, slut puppy, or any references to squid.

81. May not bring a drag queen to the battalion formal dance.

145. I should not drink three quarts of blue food coloring before a urine test.

198. Not allowed to lead a “Coup” during training missions.
