Rattlesnake Logic.......

[kygorski]

I took my basic training at Ft Carson Co. 20 weeks of it in fact.The last part was almost all outdoors, in the boonies. There are a lot of rattle snakes in that area, so we were cautioned to be aware of our surrondings, and to avoid all snakes. Every Saturday maoning we'd saddle up [full packs] and walk back to base. This was always around12 miles or so, nice walk. Route step, each shoulder, keep your distance.A couple of hours into the march, there was a crowd of folks milling around, a field ambulance, and a very pale 1st Lt being ministered to. Seems they came across a snake, and the fearless leader tried to impress his men with his courage. He picked up a stick to kill the snake, but the stick was another snake, Yep bit em. the other snake also got him. He recovered, and we found out he was gone. Any of you guys in the service, hear the phrase" the unqualified teaching the unwilling, the unnecessary"
