Some asshole comm guy in my battalion lost a CYZ-10, which is some kind of thing for encrypting radios, in Iraq. So we fuckin police called all of al-Anbar province looking for the goddamn thing, and of course we never found it. Anyway, shortly afterwards I had post, and they made this douchebag corporal the permanent COG because it's pretty much impossible to dick it up, and he was giving us all a pre-post brief on how important the CYZ-10 was in the douchiest way imaginable, sounding all grave and dramatic and shit and saying nonsense like "if you have the CYZ-10 and your rifle hanging over a cliff...you will drop your rifle" and "if you have to choose between giving up the CYZ-10 and your firstborn child, you will give up the child". When he finished with that nonsense, he was all "alright gents, go on post, don't lose your heads tonight", and so I was all "hey [his name], is it better to lose your head or the CYZ-10?"
Everyone else laughed, he threatened to make me stand two shifts back to back. I got relieved on time just like everyone else.
