Sargeant Williams was the newest drill
instructor at AOCS, Aviation
Officer Candidate School and as such was
always trying to impress his
company commander and the other officers
in the Command. Daily he was seen
jumping all over his officer
candidates and yelling at them as he
supposedly developed them into
future Naval Officers. We were lined up behind
his company awaiting
our turn to go into the mess hall for lunch.
We all listened as
Sargeant Williams yelled at his company, ” you will
eat in a military
fashion, enjoy this delicious meal and fall by in
formation at 1215,
do you worms understand me?”
“Yes drill sargeant.”
“There are
only three rules in this galley, shut up, eat up and get
up, do you
pukes understand me?”
“Yes drill sargeant.”
“Then proceed. Company
forward march.”
When they got inside, they were surprised to see
several Miss Florida
contestants getting a tour of the mess hall.
Not one to let an
opportunity slip by the drill sargeant yelled at
the top of his lungs, ” bravo
company what is the first rule of the
mess hall?”
To his chagrin, his company all yelled out in unison,
“shut up drill
sargeant!”
