VIPER POWERED
General Joe Whigham is ordered by the Secretary of Defense to gather together a Navy Lieutenant and Captains from the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force to discover why the services have trouble communicating with each other. He begins by saying that their first project task is to "secure" a certain building, and asks each of them to go home and prepare a list of steps for the project management plan and bring them to the meeting the next morning.
The Navy Lieutenant calls his Master Chief and says, "Tell those swabs to:
Unplug the coffeepots
Turn off the computers
Turn out the lights
Lock the doors and leave the building unoccupied
The Army Captain has his list in his notepad:
Assemble the company
Appoint guard mount and Sergeant of the Guard
Take control of all exits
Make sure no one gets into the building without a pass
The Marine Corps Captain writes down his steps on palm of his hand:
Assemble the platoon and supplies
Approach the building along three axes
Bring the building under mortar and SAW fire
Assault the building under covering fire
Sequester surviving prisoners
Establish lanes of fire
Prepare artillery calls
Repel counterattacks
The Air Force Captain types his list into his laptop:
Contact real estate agent
Negotiate 1-year lease
Be sure to get option to buy
