Post; Attention vs. At Ease


AT THE CONCLUSION of a rigorous three-day training exercise, we tired and dirty soldiers at Fort Chaffee, Ark., were assembled for an evaluation. As the platoon sergeant called us to attention, he noticed a particularly rumpled soldier slouching.

"The last command I gave was 'Attention,' not 'At Ease,'" the sergeant barked.

"I am at attention, sarge," the private answered. "It's my fatigues that are at ease."
