It's like the army around here GI Party bitching complaining so that tells me morale is up

The hogs were slopped to quote my old senior infantry Drill Sgt. Slop the hogs staff sgt after morning PT we would march to mess hall. The senior Drill had such away with verbiage very colorful in his language. He cared for us all wanted to see us graduate, so in caring this morning passing out brooms buckets mops cleaning supplies. I quoted the fine warrior, and said let’s hit it top to bottom. Alls I wanna see is assholes and elbows on this GI party end quote. I told the boys I care and love you all as they walked away grumbling.
