Private Johnson is in the First Sgt.'s office when the phone starts ringing and someone yells at him to answer the damn phone.
Private Johnson picks up the phone and says, "Hello?"
"Is that the way you answer the phone soldier?!! Nobody under my command should ever answer like you just answered it. You will state the name of the battalion office followed by your rank and name, and then ask how you can assist the caller. Do you understand me?" asked General Clovis.
"Yes, sir!" replied the private.
"Do you even no who you are talking to soldier? I'm General Clovis, the commander of this base," said the General.
"Well, do you know who you are speaking to General?" asked the private.
"No, who is ..."
"Good!" and the private quickly hung up.
