It happened long ago when I served in the army and served as a sergeant.

The case was in September. I and a few soldiers were on the way. And here I commanded:

to stand. and calm. On the left. Behind the loops. and run. to postpone. Running... March.

The boys ran after the loops. When everything was built, I ordered to dig a tranche right at the headquarters, starting from the flagstone. And he thought of himself, “We really dig from the headquarters and until lunch.”

The boys started to dig. But I drank them: I said you don’t have to work so fast. And he himself watched the head of the company and the commander of the company intertwined and captured the "free divisions". I realized perfectly that a potato came to our military town. The car potatoes. And, accordingly, they are now looking for those who will manually unload them. And this is a few cars scattered, potatoes need to be packed in bags, bags loaded into the car. I didn’t really want my department headed by me to be sent to such work.

When he saw that the commanders had found several offices and the task was solved, he commanded:

Enter the tranche! Loops in place. Construction in the company.

Everything was built.

be equal! and calm! Do you consider me an idiot?

And he explained that if we were now caught, we would be sent to unload the potatoes for three days, three days would be free of charge. So we dug for 20 minutes, but we didn’t go for any potatoes.

Everybody arrived.

Why did he go to the headquarters? Because no one would have come to mind to ask what we are doing here. If we were to dig somewhere in the back of a military town, we could ask what is happening. And at the headquarters, no one had such a greed in mind.

The colonel thought that, the chief of staff told me to dig, the chief of staff thought of the deputy police officer, the deputy police officer of the colonel... In a word, once we dig in the headquarters, someone exactly ordered.
