| Forum Health Inspector | Post; Where's My Gas Mask?!AFTER being issued basic combat training equipment at Fort Ord, Calif., we were warned that gas masks were frequently lost, and that we would be charged $65 for a replacement. Determined not to lose mine, I developed the habit of hitting its case with my elbow as we marched, to ensure that the mask was safely inside. Near the end of training, we made a final check of our masks before ascending to the test chamber. I elbowed my gas-mask case and panicked when I realized it was empty. "Drill Sergeant!" I yelled, jumping out of formation. "I lost my gas mask!" "Get back in line!" he bellowed. "It's on your head!" --Contributed to "Humor In Uniform" by Jared T.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Heck, Put my cover on my head when I walked outside, went tearing back into the shop looking for it. Spent 5 minutes before I realized it was in my hand (took it off after coming back indoors).
