Impressing the Others
A young Air Force 2nd Lieutenant had just arrived at Misawa AFB in Japan.He’d been given a beautifully renovated office and had it furnished with antiques.Sitting there,he saw an enlisted man come into his outer office.Wishing to appear the hotshot,the officer picked up the phone and started to pretend he was
exchanging chit chat with the Base Commander.
He threw Colonel’s and General’s names around and talked about letting them stay in his Daddy’s condo in Hawaii,and then setup agolfing date between him,the Base Commander,and the CO’s of the Naval Security Group and Naval Air Facility.Finally he hung up and asked the Sergeant,Can I help you sergeangt？The TSGT said,Yes sir,I’m here to activate your phone lines.参考译文
给人留个深刻印象
一个年轻的空军少尉刚刚抵达在日本的三沢空军基地。他分到了一间装修漂亮、饰有古董的办公室。坐在办公室里,他看到一名士兵走进外面的一间办公室里。军官想显示自己了不起,便拿起电话,开始假装与基地司令聊天。
他嘴里一会儿一个上校的名字,一会儿一个将军的名字,让他们住在夏威夷属于他父亲名下的大楼里,然后他又约定好与基地司令、海军安全科科长以及海军航空兵设施科科长去打高尔夫球。最后,他挂断了电话,问军士:你有什么事吗？那名军士说:是的,长官,我来这里开通您的电话。
