after 20 some years of being out of the cult, I've been looking back on those times and laughing a lot! some pretty funny stuff happened in the field, and to see that someone else on the board remembers one of the funnier events I was involved in is pretty awesome! this is a copy from another post..... on older one to be sure:

I suppose it would also depend on whether you had a lisp or some other speech impediment as well. >
There was a MCpl in the Hussars in Germany that had a bit of a speech impediment. He would do his CC drills and when he got to the MBGD he would yell "moke - no moke"
In fact once when in Bergen we were doing an ex with the Brits. Some infantry climbed his tank and he was yelling over the net.
"HONA F@#$ DEY ON MA DANK THEY ON MY DANK....."silence.
Followed by the gunner laughing.. "1 this is -- they got my crew commander over"
Good fun.
this one I will ALWAYS remember! the Brits literaly just drug him out of the tank! we were already hatches down for the most part, the driver and operator were anyways, I don't remember why he opened his hatch, but he did, and was captured. I reached up and slammed it back down and locked 'er up. I then made that radio sit-rep, and the OC said to just stand down in the hide, I said no way and took command of the tank and was given some rolls to carry out through the rest of that particular attack. :nod:
