A new addition to the Army Field Manual...

Saw this on HandgunForum.net and thought there would be a few interested parties here. Marginally SFW, but I dunno about the 10-year-old rule. In a nutshell, it is 213 things that Army Spc. "Skippy" Schwartz was either specifically ordered, or was present when other soldiers were ordered, not to do.

A preview:
#57. The proper response to a lawful order is not “Why?�
#80. Not allowed to wear a dress to any army functions.
#105. I am not allowed to bum cigarettes off of anyone under twelve.

And probably the overarching rule:
#87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

Got a few chuckles on that, thanks.

BTW Just for accuracy he stated that he was a Sergeant, "A Career E-4"

A career E-4 is an E-4 with no desire to be promoted to sergeant. E-4 is the last "gimme" rank, it just happens after 26 months if you havent gotten demoted or promoted early. E-5 you need to work for a little bit.
