2 second lieutenants were undergoing their final "practical" exam in the basic survival course. They were given a canteen full of water, a knife, a compass, and a map. Then, they were dropped in the middle of a large forest with instructions to find their way back to base within 48 hours.
Late in the evening of the first day, they came across some tracks in the forest. "Look!" said the first lieutenant, "Deer tracks!"
The second lieutenant looked down and said "No, I believe those are elk tracks."
To make sure, both lieutenants knelt down to examine the tracks more closely. Unfortunately, they were unable to determine what kind of tracks they were because the Amtrack came roaring through and killed both of them.

"PER ARDUA AD ITER"
yet another joke
A young engineer Lt and a master seargent are in the woods. It is the Lt's field eval. At some point the Lt admits to the Msgt that he's lost. At this point, the Msgt reaches in his back pack and retreves a stake. He drives the stake in the ground and ties a survey tape to it. The Msgt then sits down and breaks out an MRE. The Lt is now totally confused and asks the old Msgt what exactly he's doing. The old timer explains in one sylible words (remember he's talking to a 2nd Lt). Well sir, very soon there'll be a bull dozer along to run over that stake. then we'll just follow him to the service club.
No society in history has ever taxed it's way to prosperity.
