私:There will be .... Please let me know if you would like to attend.
陸軍の将校:I will be unable to make it... I'm having my tonsils removed on Thursday at the hospital. Pray for me!!! (Ha Ha) I'll also be on convalsecent leave for 10 days after the surgery. I'll be back in the office on 26 March. I'll check email periodically from home.
民間人1:Ten days! When I had mine out I was back in two days ! Guess our Army is getting soft and can’t hang with the Civilians!
民間人2:Maybe we can bring him some tutti fruti bubble gum baskin robbins. Softy.
陸軍下士官兵:Ha! Ten what? Today's Field Grade Officers, where are we going with this, before we know, the system will be given convalescent leave for manicure and pedicure. We just have to be more careful!
陸軍の将校:OK OK....Ha Ha!!! I can ONLY hope to calcify myself after I join the ranks of our civilian brethren. Thanks for the support and I'm off to get a pedicure... How many days do I get (陸軍下士官兵の名前)? PS..Remember, payback is hell but I enjoy the humor.
民間人1:Well, in your defense if you would have been AF you would need 30 days! Now if you were a Marine your buddy would just rip them out and you would keep going! :)
