Military Minute 24 Feb 24

I’m Papa Penguin and this is your Military Minute.

The Marine Corps isn’t only the first to fight, they are also the first branch to ever pass a complete financial audit! The smaller size of the Corps definitely made it easier to meet this mission but the fact it also required math skills beyond counting fingers shouldn’t be underestimated.

Scuttlebutt is HQMC wants to create a Fields medal for the computational wizardry not even the Air Force can achieve.

This success story has sent shockwaves throughout JSOC and the CIA. The new expectation of fiscal responsibility is a threat to black budgets everywhere.

Semper pi Marines.

That’s a math joke, I’m not calling the Corps fat.

A recent attack by the Houthi’s on a Belize-flagged ship forced the crew to abandon her, created an 18 mile long oil slick and risks spilling over 40,000 lbs of fertilizer into the sea.

Environmental groups just stop oil and Greenpeace have to be outraged?

Probably still stuck to whatever they glued themselves to last.

And that’s your military minute.
