Just how efficient is military Speak? Let us find out.
Military version:
One day, a PFC in the USA Inf was ordered by his CO to find the SFC at HQ. Along the way, he went AWOL. The LT was pissed that the PFC would go AWOL, declared the situation a CF, and called in the MPs who promptly found him at the local pub with a few WACs. In jail the CH visited him along with the OG. After the GCM, PFC was given a DD on his SR.
Translation into normal speech:
One day, a (private first class) in the (United States Army Infantry) was ordered by his (Commanding Officer) to find the (Sergeant First Class) at (Head Quarters). Along the way, he went (Absent Without Leave). The (Lieutenant) was pissed that the (Private First Class) would go (Absent without Leave), declared the situation a (Cluster F__K), and called in the (Military Police) who promptly found him at the local pub with a few (Women's Army Corp). In jail the (Chaplain) visited him along with the (Officer of the Guard). After the (General Court Martial), (Private First Class) was given a (Dishonorable Discharge) on his (Service Record).
First paragraph has 78 words. Second has 105. That is a savings of 27 words. Military efficiency at work.
Posted by: uh...ok
Yeah Chaks but that story has some lard that can be cut down further.
One day, a USA Inf PFC went AWOL after his CO ordered him to find the SGF at HQ. The pissed L declared the situation a CF, and called the MP, who promptly found him at the local pub with a few WAC. The C and the OG visited him in jail. After the GCM, the PFC received a DD on his SR.
Drats, only cut down 15 more words.
