ROTC

2020年11月05日 | 英単語
Reader's Digest 9月号の記事 'Humor in UNIFORM' からの引用です。
We were drilling with rifles for the first time when our master sergeant caught one of the ROTC cadets chewing gum.
"Cadet!" he shouted. "I want you to run to the end of the field and throw your gum over the fence!"
We were all slightly bemused when he came back still chewing gum but with no rifle.

Note: ROTC: (in the US) Reserve Officers' Training Corps. (i.e. a training program to prepare college students to be commissioned officers)
こういう兵隊ばかりなら戦争には負けますね。
