- Jump into the pond and stay there for 10 minutes!
Although terrified, the soldier reluctantly complies. After 10 minutes of struggling with the crocodiles, he miraculously makes it to the shore.
The third officer speaks to his soldier:
- Jump in and prove you're braver than them!
This soldier confidently steps forward, addressing the officers:
- I can jump in and kill all those crocs, but that would be a foolish command, a pointless sacrifice. I – won't – jump!
The third officer smiles at the surprise of the other two:
- I believe he's the truly brave one!

Then came the hugging, caressing, kissing, and various demands... Despite being quite stirred myself, I still vowed not to reveal our position. But when the 'local resident' pulled out a pocket knife and intended to carve the name of the other 'local resident' on... my rear end, I could no longer endure...

- Good, pulse is normal.
- But... doctor, that's my artificial arm!
2. Water Pipeline
Seeing the difficulty of bringing water to the village, soldiers and locals jointly build a water pipeline from the mountain. The pipeline made of bamboo works well when it's fresh, delivering plenty of water. Some households share a common water pipeline. When it rains less, the dried bamboo cracks, causing water loss. The houses at the end of the pipeline sometimes have no water or very little. This leads to suspicion, and they start observing each other. If one house has water while another doesn't, Sung Sin Man grabs a knife and a hoe, storms out, and destroys the pipeline, saying, “I participated in building this pipeline. If it has water and I don't, why? If I don't have water, I'll destroy it!”. The border guards have to explain and encourage them to build a new pipeline before they agree.


7. Joke Number 6
1. Deep Water
Three soldiers are ordered to escort three female commandos to the combat zone. In the middle of the journey, the three men instruct the three ladies to slow down and not follow them closely. The curious and anxious women secretly follow them anyway.
It turns out to be a stream, and the three soldiers have to undress to their heads and wade through the chest-deep water. The three women laugh mischievously and imitate them when the men move out of sight. Unfortunately, when the female commandos reach the middle of the stream, the water only comes up to their knees!
Back at the combat zone, the three women complain to the commanding officer. The officer immediately calls the three soldiers to explain. Scratching their heads, the soldiers say:
– Oh, because we were on a hot road, we took the opportunity to cool off by crossing the stream while bathing. When we reached the middle, we switched to walking on our knees, so the water only came up to our chests. Little did we know the ladies would imitate us. Don't worry, sir, we scouted ahead, focused on reconnaissance and surveillance, and didn't look back, so they didn't see anything.
2. Swearing Incident
Back in the days when the army marched in a single file, the commander walked in the middle of the procession to lead. Orders were passed mouth to mouth from person to person, and of course, they had to be accurate!
Our battalion was marching southwards, facing a severe shortage of food along the way. We suggested to the commander that we shoot wild animals to improve our meals. The commander agreed but to avoid everyone shooting small animals, wasting bullets, and having insufficient meat to share, he instructed:
– Comrades, you should only shoot wild boars or deer. If you have any questions, ask me!
That day, while marching, suddenly the front spotted a deer. They immediately relayed the information to the commander:
– Report, Commander, you said we can only shoot deer. Can we shoot this one?
The order reached the commander's ears, and he got angry:
– *** it, a deer or a doe, what's the difference!
And so, the cursing echoed throughout the empty forest. As the message passed through the ranks, the deer had already run away!

For breakfast, Thao A Chinh said: “The soldiers, give me some long rice to eat; I haven't had it for a long time, and I miss it!”. The border guards with him were newly assigned to the post and didn't know what 'long rice' was. They asked at several eateries, but no one knew.

Ly A Sau was ordered by the post commander to visit home because there has been much progress lately. Before leaving, the post commander advised: “When you get off the bus, Ly A Sau, you have to go straight home!”. Hearing that, Ly A Sau immediately responded: “No way! If the commander says anything, I can still listen, but this one I can't hear!”. Curious, his comrades asked, and Ly A Sau explained: “From the bus station to my house, I have to walk straight for one machete, then turn right, walk another two machetes, turn left, more than two machetes, turn left again, walk another machete to finally reach the village. If the commander says I have to go straight home, then I can't do it!”. The post commander, with an understanding smile, explained, and both laughed heartily.
