I had to post this counter thread from the Your Favorite Saying (from a Commander, Supervisor etc..) thread because some people say some stupid crap in the military.
Here are a few off the top of my head.
"Do as I say, not as I do." (An E-7 really said that to me)
"The only way to improve pushups is to do pushups, the only way to improve sit ups is to do sit ups and the only way to improve running is by running."
"I know the Battalion Commander said that everyone in the BN is to be off by 1430 and its now 1450...Attention to Orders (my company commander then promoted a few soldiers. The BC chewed some serious butt over that one)
"PVT Doody, can you really afford to have $180 taken out of your paycheck." (my Platoon Sergeant scolding me infront of the platoon because someone jacked my promask from my room. Little did he know I had a stock portfolio of about $7,000)
"Everyone in the squad will be here at 0530." (The next day my squad leader arrived at 0610)
