Just thought I'd lighten up the thread,
The NCO:
A man was flying a hot air balloon and realized that he was lost. He reduced his height and spotted a man down below. He lowered the balloon further and shouted "Excuse me, can you help me? I made a promise to meet someone a half hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below said, "Yes, you are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet off this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"Wow, you must be an NCO," said the balloonist.
"I am ", replied the NCO, "How did you know?"
"Well," said the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with this information and the fact is, I am still lost."
"You must be an officer!", said the NCO.
"I am", replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the NCO, " You don't know where you are or where you are going. You have made a promise to someone that you cannot keep and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
:patriot:
