The Latrine Holding Tank Is Full - 
(Thule Greenland)


A US Air Force C-130 was scheduled to leave
 Thule Air Base, Greenland, at midnight during a winter month. 
During the pilot's pre-flight check, 
he discovers that the latrine holding tank is still full from the last flight. 
 So a message is sent to the base 
and an airman who was off duty is called out to take care of it.



The young man finally gets to the air base 
and makes his way to the aircraft
 only to find that the latrine pump-truck has been left outdoors
 and is frozen solid,
 so he must find another one in the hangar,
 which takes even more time.

He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic 
about what he has to do. 
 Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job
 deliberately and carefully (and slowly)
 so as not to risk criticism later.

As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says,
"Son, your attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late,
 and I'm going to personally see to it that you 
are not just reprimanded but punished."

Shivering in the cold, his task finished,
 the young airman takes a deep breath,
 stands tall and says, 
"Sir, with all due respect, I'm not your son;
 I'm an Airman in the United States Air Force.
 I've been in Thule, Greenland for 11 months
 without any leave,
 and reindeer's asses are beginning to look pretty good to me.
 I have one stripe; it's 2:30 in the morning;
the temperature is 40 degrees below zero, 
and my job here is to pump s...out of an aircraft.
Now, just exactly what form of punishment 
did you have in mind for me?
