Appropriate Punishment
>
> US Air Force C-141 is scheduled to leave Thule Air Base, Greenland at

> latrine holding tank is still full from the last flight. So a message
> is sent to the base and an airman who was off duty is called out
> to take care
> of it.
>
> The young man finally gets to the air base and makes his way to the
> aircraft, only to find that the latrine pump truck has been left
> outdoors and is frozen solid, so he must find another one in the
> hangar, which takes even more time.
>
> He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic about what
> he has
> to do. Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job deliberately and
> carefully (and slowly) so as not to risk criticism later.
>
> As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says, "Son, your
> attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late and I'm
> going to personally see to it that you are not just reprimanded but
> punished."
>
> Shivering in the cold, his task finished, he takes a deep breath,
> stands up tall and says, "Sir, with all due respect, I'm not your
> son; I'm an Airman in the United States Air Force. I've been in
> Thule, Greenland, for 11 months without any leave, and reindeer's
> asses are beginning to look pretty good to me. I have one stripe;
> it's two-thirty in the morning, the temperature is 40 degrees below
> zero, and my job here is to pump shit out of an aircraft.

> .....Now, just exactly what form of punishment did you have in mind?"
