- Roman proverb
The last signature snark I made was in an email trail featuring several intel officers that kept putting their "callsigns" in their signature blocks. Somewhere in the final email chain was a signature block that said:
JUSTIN "AFMAN 33-119 PROHIBITS CALLSIGNS IN SIGNATURE BLOCKS" BLACKWELL, TSgt, USAF
"[Signal] is the most thankless job in the United States Army...we give you equipment that in many cases is outdated and outmoded...not enough of it, and you're told to go out and make things work in the field just as if someone was operating in the middle of New York City with their cell phone and their push-to-talk radio and everything else. If it all works properly, no one says thank you, because everyone expects that's the way it's supposed to work. But if anything electric -- electric, not just electronic much less communications-wise -- breaks, doesn't work properly, it's the SIGO's fault."

New sustainability model for our time: "Give a man a fire and he's warm for
a day, but set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life."
At Engineer Officer Basic Course the demolitions instructor said:
"If it absolutely has to go, the only equation you will need to know is P for plenty!"
