Chain of command

Buwahaa -- LOL

One day at an early morning Instructor Pilot briefing when I was a youngster, the squadron commander shows up. Brief at 0430 mind you. I was a flight commander and my guys were a bunch of cut ups. I loved them and they were a bunch of good pilots so I kind of let them get away with murder. Sure as chit one of the new young IPs was late. He blows past the SQ CC at 0440, doesn't even see him, boots untied and patches all screwed up. Ops Officer (giving the brief) had to do something with SQ CC in the room so he tells the young capt to stand up and tell him, and all his colleagues, why he decided he could be 10 minutes late for the brief.

Without missing a beat the young Captain says; "Major, you ever tried to get a 120 lb woman off you when she is trying hard to get pregnant." I spit my coffee all over the scheduling board. The capt got a little "shut in" with the Ops Officer and Commander
