A US Air Force C-130 was scheduled to leave Thule Air Base, Greenland at
midnight. During the pilot's preflight check, he discovers that the latrine
holding tank is still full from the last flight. So a message is sent to
the base and an airman who was off duty is called out to take care of it.

The young man finally gets to the air base and makes his way to the
aircraft only to find that the latrine pump truck has been left outdoors
and is frozen solid,so he must find another one in the hangar, which takes even
more time He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic about
what he has to do. Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job deliberately
and carefully (and per the checklist,) so as not to risk criticism later.

As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says, "Son, your
attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late and I'm going to
personally see to it that you are not just reprimanded but punished."

Shivering in the cold, his task finished, he takes a deep breath, stands up
tall and says, "Sir, with all due respect, I'm not your son; I'm an Airman
in the United States Air Force. I've been in Thule, Greenland, for 11
months without any leave, and reindeer's asses are beginning to look pretty good
to me. I have one stripe; it's two-thirty in the morning, the temperature is
40 degrees below zero, and my job here is to pump shit out of an aircraft.
Now, just exactly what form of punishment did you have in mind?

Sometimes you think your day can't get any worse, and then someone has to pull rank and prove that "__it flows downhill".

Gotta give that airman credit for telling his superior like it is.
