10 Things NDSU Didn't Teach Me (But the Army did)

[backpages]

10. Afghan = is more than something grandma knits to cover-up with while taking a nap.
9. Bison Turds = Your MRE is vegetarian delight.
8. Bison Pride = Your MRE contains unspecified meat.
7. Scream Yellow = Military jargon for “Talaban retreat.”
6. Domed Stadium = Freaking sandstorm!
5. Moving from D2 to D1 = Your unit has been moved up to be the first into the drop zone and closest to enemy lines.
4. Sioux Suck = Damn UND chopper pilots are extracting the Marines before us.
3. Broken Arrow = The Sioux were right – get the hell out of here.
2. The Nickel – In five days I’m going home.
1. NDSU Finance majors should not be jumping out of perfectly good airplanes!

Special place in my heart for the Airborne since my Dad was in the 82nd during WWII. He was also an NDSU grad. Thank you for your service and glad you came home safe.
