Parachute Regiment
As a sergeant in a parachute regiment, I took part in several night time exercises. Once, I was seated next to a Lieutenant fresh from Jump School. He was quite sad and looked a bit pale, so I struck up a conversation with him.
“Scared, Lieutenant?” I said.
He replied, “No, just a bit apprehensive.”
I asked, “What’s the difference?”
He replied, “That means I’m scared with a university education.”
