All right everyone, COUNT OFF.
“ONE”
“TWO”
“THREE”
“FOUR”
“FIVE”
“FIVE”
“Alright dumb fucks, start over.”
“One”
“Two”
“Three”
“Three”
*collective sigh from the group*
So back in my corps. We would need to be at some position at the break of dawn. So we would have a 2100 formation, so that we could march to the armory at midnight. The Armory didn’t open until 0330, so once they opened, we drew weapons and went to motor t. We would then wait there until we could board trucks, and drive off.
When we board a truck, we needed to count off for accountability.
For some reason, these counts often had to be repeated. Multiple times.
Weirdly, one time, we ended up with a different count of people at the destination than when we got on the trucks. How could that have happened?
