"here is a question u are driving on a base and its time for colors what do u do?
1)drive faster
2) render a salute
3) stop car and sit at attention
4) or get out car and lay on the road"

if you are in uniform you are supposed to stop the vehicle, and one member in the vehicle has to get out and salute the flag (or direction of flag if you can't see it)
thats how it was 6 years ago, dunno now.

Ok CHT is Collection, Holding, & Transfer, it is spoken as the Sh*t or C H T! Which ironically enough is what it has to do with Collecting, Holding, and Transferring the crews, bio-waste.

"Afterburners" are those longs sleeves on the blue utility jackets, (they may have changed these along with the new uniforms a few years back.) Thye are called afterburners because that is what they look like until you tuck them back on you're wrist, (referrring to the afterburners from a jet.)

Ok I remember about the lead-on and the grinder, I hated that stupid Butt thing; grind this baby! ROFL
