And now BD can go back to Boopsie. A woman who loves him for him and not his rank.

Weren’t they putting rank insignia on the helmets at this point?

Oooo, fraternisation with an officer… So BD is not only cheating on Boopsie, he is also breaking military law!

BD’s been in the military (Reserve or National Guard) from Vietnam until the Gulf War, and he’s only a corporal? Who did he tick off at the Pentagon?

If it is that big a deal, she should have asked for credentials day one.

General Douglas MacArthur’s wife said that although he was a five star general, he was a buck private in bed.

ONLY a Corporal!! There would be no Army without them, and Privates and Master Corporals…just senior NCOs and Warrant Officers scratching their heads

Yes mam, Corporal B. D. Rockefeller.

So, his rank aint on his sleeve or anyother part of his uniform deary???!!!

Joke told by a former corporal:

“Remember daughter: Never date anyone lower than a Second Lieutenant.”

“No problem, Mom, there IS noone lower than a Second Lieutenant.”

Uh, oh! So much for, “I’ll never let you go” business. Poor B.D.

Wait a minute. Didn’t he end up as a captain? How did he jump into the commissioned ranks?
