Visual training
The squad were having “visual training”. One smart recruit was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party in a distant field. The party was so far away that the men appeared asmere dots, but unhesitatingly the recruit replied: “sixteen men and a sergeant ,,sir.” “right ;but how do you know there’s a sergeant there?” “he’s not doing any digging , sir.”
視力訓練
班里正在進行“視力訓練”。一個聰明伶俐的新兵被班長叫出來樹遠處曠野上采掘隊的人數。采掘隊在很遠的地方,那些人看起來只是一些小點兒。但是這個新兵毫不猶豫地答道:“16個士兵和一個中士,長官。”“正確。可你怎么知道那兒有一個中士?”“他不干活,長官。”
