My personal favorite was when my CPO office called the squadron to question short notice mil leave. I answered the phone. CP said they needed to speak to the most senior officer available to see if F/O CX500T was actually performing drill.

"well this is the XO, LCDR CX500T, I answered the squadron land line, so yes I am actually at the unit"

"I NEED TO TALK TO THE CO"

"He's out on a Casualty Assistance call, he will be back in a couple days"

THIS IS MORE IMMPORTANT

"No, it's not, email the form you want to [email protected] and he will do it"
