Soldiers Excuses

Its' funny to hear the same old excuses over and over again in the military. I was once a Private in the U.S. Army and our first formation is at 0630 and there are several times when I use the same excuses that younger soldiers now are still using when they are late for work. I called it, “THE ALARM CLOCK ORDEAL". The excuses that soldiers use when they are late for formations are as follows:

o My alarm clock battery died was the reason why they were late.
o The power went out (This person should of had an battery in his alarm clock)
o Wife was mad and reset the alarm clock to a different time (ISSUES RIGHT!!!!)
o I had set the alarm clock to at 4:30am but it never went off (Liar!!!!)

Other Excuses are as Follows:

o Wife had kept me up all night yelling at me
o Wife was blocking the door preventing me to leave for work
o Wife lost my car keys
o My car wouldn't crank up because my battery is dead
o I forgot my Military ID card at home.
o There was an accident on the road and I was helping them out
o Oh let's not forget "I had a HANGOVER FROM PARTYING LAST NIGHT” ( this soldier
Is an idiot)

There are alot more excuses than this. The surprising thing is that you will actually hear excuses that you use when you were young soldiers. I sitting on over 18 years of Military Service, and still, I hear the same excuses over and over again. If you don't believe it, then stay in this long in the Army and you will hear it.
